By Laura Knoy on Friday, October 15, 2004.

Fahrenheit 9-11, Celsius 41.11, Bush's Brain and Hijacking Castrophe, they're part of a group of new documentaries and films with a political slant looking to entertain, make people think and possible influence voters.

Laura's guests are Garen Daly, a film reviewer living in Gilmanton and artistic director of the Dedham Community Theatre in Dedham, Massachusetts, and Larry Benquist, professor of film studies at Keene State College.
