Punctured

About This Movie

So, Punctured (2010) is really an intriguing piece, right? It dives into those Depression-era negatives that got the axe, courtesy of Stryker’s orders. You know, those snaps that were considered too raw or unpublishable. The documentary kind of has this haunting quality, showing just what was deemed unworthy for history. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really linger on each image and think about its backstory. The atmosphere is heavy, almost like you can feel the weight of those times in each frame. I mean, it’s a fascinating exploration of how we edit history, and it draws on the earlier work Killed (2009) for context. It's a unique way to reflect on forgotten narratives.
