this is an incredible piece. roger g. smith's writing and performance are mesmerizing, brilliant. i so admire the talent and intellect that produced this film. there are other one person performances i enjoy but this one tops them all.
furthermore, the film provides education and insight into our recent history and that makes it a must see for all American high schoolers. there are endless social and political references woven into what seems to be newton's extemporaneous thoughts, stream of consciousness, as they say. these could be mined for further study and investigation by students. i have certainly used it to teach my children about those times.
