Sorry for the lateness of today’s post — due to a couple of entirely unrelated issues, my latest Sympatico/MSN DVD column has only just gone live, thus frustrating my urge to link.

This week’s piece looks at a trio of docudramas — “Shake Hands with the Devil”, “Bordertown” and “Trade” — which all come up short in comparison to actual documentaries on their subjects. I mean, this isn’t a new thing, but … well, read the piece, and you’ll see.
