Films by Peter Thompson Movie Review 1987

Three semi-experimental documentary shorts by Thompson, each using film form to comment on matters of both personal and public history: "Two Portraits," a memoir about Thompson's parents; "Universal Hotel," a meditation on photographs of a Polish POW forced into deep-cold medical experiments in Dachau, and "Universal Citizen," about a Guatemalan smuggler who was once an inmate at Dachau.
