They skillfully weave together (edited expertly by Emily Kunstler) their own footage and revelatory newsreel footage of major events in their father's life. They even use a brief animated scene to demonstrate his choice of path while looking at Michelangelo's David statue poised for action.Not everyone agrees: Attorney Alan Dershowitz stops just short of calling Kunstler a hypocrite for defending mobster John Gotti, terrorists who planted bombs in the parking lot of New York's World Trade Center in 1993 and other questionable individuals.But Kunstler was vindicated for at least one of his decisions: Seven years after appealing Yusef Salaam's conviction in the Central Park jogger case, Salaam was exonerated and released, and his interview and deep respect for Kunstler is one of the film's highlights.At least for themselves, the filmmakers unravel some of the troubling questions that have been nagging them for a lifetime, and Kunstler emerges as a man of principle and conviction who spent his career defending those who couldn't defend themselves. For outsiders, though, Kunstler remains more of a mystery, and while his wife offers testimony, the film could benefit from more insight into his personality and where his sense of mission originated.Nonetheless, this documentary is put together expertly and never less than compelling. It's a labor of love that helps restore the reputation of a significant player on the American stage during the last half of the 20th century.Reuters/Hollywood Reporter Film. nuclear deal report (Adds stocks, details) By Aiko Hayashi TOKYO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The Nikkei average rose 0.8 percenton Monday, buoyed by exporters such as Honda Motor Co (7267.T) ona softer yen and by hopes for bold economic measures from the newU.S administration.
