[Frameworks] Docs With Expressive Dramatizations

[Adam Hyman]

Hi,

I'm biased (as I was co-producer), but "Operation Homecoming: Writing the
Wartime Experience" (2007 is very interesting in the wide array of
approaches it uses, from direct address to camera, archival footage,
direct cinema, "dramatization," and animation to convey the writings of
troops about their experiences in Iraq & Afghanistan.
