BBC Four here in the UK, this week aired an interesting documentary that I
think was first released at Sundance last year. Whirlybird is the story of
Zoey Tur (previously Bob) and Marika Gerrard, and their helicopter
reporting business.

I'm sure that some of our LA based members may know Bob's work which
includes coverage of the LA riots following the Rodney King beating, and
the OJ car chase. The documentary is a portrait of the people as much as
anything but the makers have full access to the full archive of tapes they
shot, including lots of rushes that never made it to air.

I don't know where it'll have shown up on US TV, although there's an A&E
Television copyright credit on it, but it is so much better than that awful
Netflix reality series from a couple of years ago following LA stringers.

Worth checking out.
