Jet Line

About This Movie

So, 'Jet Line' is this interesting little documentary by Patrick McCormack that really digs into the lives of folks who live right under the F-35 flight path in Vermont. It’s not just a bunch of talking heads—there’s this real contrast between the serene visuals of suburban life and the constant roar of military jets overhead. The pacing is quite deliberate, which adds to the sense of unease. You get these intimate glimpses into the residents’ daily lives, and their voices really come through thanks to the hotline concept. It’s distinctive in how it combines quiet, personal stories with the looming presence of something as jarring as military aviation. Definitely a thoughtful watch, if you’re into the intersection of community and militarization.
