Hi Jan,
ReplyDeleteSorry your favourite documentary didn't make the short list; but I will be doing a post later in the month about some of the contenders that didn't quite make it, including the recent ENB documentary 'The Agony and the Ecstasy'.

Awww... My bad, I recalled (later) that I watched it in French, I don't even know if it is available in English - So strictly speaking you are within you right to ignore it!
ReplyDeleteVERY well worth watching, though!
