Missing in Action

About This Movie

So, 'Missing in Action' dives into the curious case of lost Doctor Who episodes, which is both fascinating and a bit frustrating for collectors. It captures the essence of the long history of the BBC and the peculiarities of archiving, or lack thereof. The pacing varies; some sections feel methodical while others rush through the details of hoaxes that muddy the waters. It's interesting how the atmosphere shifts as it explores nostalgia and loss, and the practical effects of archival footage really bring things to life. Those interviews with collectors and historians add depth, though some feel a bit too dry for my taste. Still, it raises valid points and gets you thinking about how we value our media history.
