Rating: 3.5/4 -- A fascinating exercise in nonfiction filmmaking as a performative, interdisciplinary, collective act, as well as a provocative inquiry into how selective memory, ideology, shame and unspeakable trauma shape what we come to accept as official history. Full Review

Rating: 6.5/10 -- Bisbee '17 is a compelling story told in a format that doesn't quite work. Full Review

Like all of Greene’s films, it’s more of a cannily controlled meditation than a traditional attempt at semi-objective portraiture, deliberately blurring the line between documentation and performance. -- Grade: B

Product Description:

Sundance award winning director Robert Greene's docudrama features a re-enactment of the Bisbee Deportation. In 1917, 1,200 immigrant miners were abducted by an armed vigilante force from the old mining town along the Mexico-Arizona border and left to die in the middle of the desert. A century later, present-day townspeople re-enact the events leading up to the historic miner's strike and illegal deportation to come to terms with the town's dark past.
