	. . . Suns came up over farm fields and bright-shirted pickers
	with the still outlines of buses and portable toilets on trailers in
	the distance, shone pitilessly down on mass incinerations of
	American-grown pot, the flames weak orange distortions of the
	daylight, and set over college and high school campuses
	turned into military motor pools, throwing oily shadows. There
	was little mercy in these images, except by accident -- backlit
	sweat on a Guardsman's arm as he swung a rifle toward a
	demonstrator, a close-up of a farm employer's face that said
	everything its subject was trying not to, those occasional
	meadows and sunsets -- not enough to help anybody escape
	seeing and hearing what, the film implied, they must. . .
