Movie-like WWII documentary hits big screen
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mark Jonathan Harris, already the winner of two Academy Awards for documentaries, may have come up with that rarest of the rare: a documentary that Americans might actually see in theaters.
By feature-film standards, Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport has performed modestly. The documentary has opened in nine U.S. and Canadian cities in the past few weeks.
But documentaries and feature films inhabit parallel universes, and just playing in theaters is a big deal for a documentary.
Harris' film — about the children who fled Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia without their parents in the months before World War II — may be benefiting from a wave of popular acceptance for documentaries, helped by the profusion of cable channels on television.
"We are in the midst of a breakout time for documentaries," said Amitai Adler of the Los Angeles-based International Documentary Association. "Ten years ago there were only two to three cable channels, and now they cannot buy documentaries fast enough."
Adler estimated that more than 1,000 documentaries a year are made for television. An additional 30 to 40 documentaries a year appear in movie theaters before being shown on television, thus meeting the requirement for Oscar eligibility. Adler said.
Harris says he deliberately set out to give Into the Arms of Strangers the story-telling power of a commercial film, it focuses not on the Holocaust, but on the universal pain of parents and children separated by war.
"Documentaries are often full of good information, but they go down like spinach and castor oil: good for you, but hard to swallow." Harris said during a break in a week of interviews.
Although this is a documentary, it's structured in the way a film is structured," he said. "You don't know who is going to meet their parents again."
