The best lawyers in the screen industry have laser minds, a certain combativeness, a feeling for objectivity and a sense of humour. They can make good producers, but not too many become directors. Words are not images and arguments are not feelings.
This is a story about a fighting lawyer who has made a beautiful documentary which touches hearts while it is thoroughly infused with the bureaucratic process that is a snorefest for the rest of us. Even the title, After the Apology, speaks of gesture politics and legal niceties.
