Please explain what just happened.

The people of Egypt revolted against an entrenched dictator with a horrible civil rights record and won their freedom. Oh, and some priceless shit was stolen from their museum as well.

What is your earliest memory?

Rolling around on the grass in front of a Kingdom Hall when my family were all Jehovah’s Witnesses. My father was speaking to the congregation that day. It was sunny, about 70 degrees.

David Modigliani is the director of a new documentary called Crawford. A hit on the festival circuit, the film offers a poignant view of the small Texas town that was transformed overnight when George W. Bush bought his 1,500-acre ranch on Prairie Chapel Road back in 1999. Crawford just made its groundbreaking premiere online at Hulu.com, and it has been warmly received by both critics and audiences alike. Noteworthy for its even-handed approach, the film features the perspectives of ordinary citizens who were able to witness history at close range during extraordinary times.
