Buckle up for DIAL H-I-S-T-O-R-Y, the acclaimed hijacking documentary that eerily foreshadowed 9/11. We meet the romantic skyjackers who fought their revolutions and won airtime on the passenger planes of the 1960's and 1970Õs. By the 1990's, such characters were apparently no more, replaced on our TV screens by stories of anonymous bombs in suitcases.
Director Johan Grimonprez investigates the politics behind this change, at the same time unwrapping our own complicity in the urge for ultimate disaster. Playing on Don DeLillo's riff in his novel Mao II: "what terrorists gain, novelists lose" and "home is a failed idea", he blends archival footage of hijackings with surreal and banal themes, including fast food, pet statistics, disco, and his quirky home movies. David Shea composed the superb soundtrack to this free fall through history, best described in the words of one hijacked Pepsi executive as "running the gamut of many emotions, from surprise to shock to fear, to joy, to laughter, and then again, fear."
"Exceptional for its juice, its jazzy compelling fusion of social and aesthetic issues, and its stomach-churning power."
- The New York Times
"A sense of urgency and a wrenching emotional attack."
- The Times (London)
"Each cut turns a screw deeper until your mind hurts."
- San Francisco Bay Guardian
"An eccentric, roller coaster ride through history."
- Time Out

how many of these "found footage" films can be made?

wow. Just Wow. Loved the grainy stock footage. shocking images and seeing Old Skool America. Sad. I miss our old America. The film's direction , editing and music are A+.
I'm not a deep political person, but this film sucked me right in. I loved the nerdy kid who liked the terrorists.
the film was ...real. Not "reality film" but A REAL Film. a throwback to the literate radical enlightening films of the 60's.
Can't wait to see it all.
