Auteur Watch - John Akomfrah

Take THAT, Michael Moore!  Well, Mike's only three years older than John here.  He's the British king of documentaries, for God's sake!  I should know of this guy!  Well, I'll give him this.  Anyone else, after finishing a documentary in 2009 about the Exxon Valdez would've wanted to get started on a new doc about that Gulf of Mexico spill a mere year later, but he's got bigger fish to fry.  A toast to John Akomfrah!
