FWIW, my sister-in-law (Lyn Goldfarb), who has made or helped make
many documentaries (including "With Babies and Banners")* says that
though "South of the Border" is really interesting, it's bad _as a
documentary_. In essence, she suggests that Stone was too arrogant,
thinking that making a documentary was easy because he'd made so many
feature films.

directly coincided with their essence." -- KM
* from her website: "The victory of the Great General Motors Sit-Down
Strike in Flint, Michigan, in 1937 was the key to the success of the
CIO’s drive for industrial unionism. The now classic With Babies and
Banners presents the untold story of the women—the working women,
wives, mothers and sisters—who became the backbone of the strike. Rich
with archival footage and riveting interviews, With Babies and Banners
was nominated for an Academy Award."
