OKLAHOMA CITY<\/strong>
\nAmerican Experience Films<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Barak Goodman<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Barak Goodman<\/strong>
\nCast: Janet Beck, Jim Botting, Bill Buford, Jerry Flowers, Lee Hancock, John Hersley, Jeff Jamar, Daniel Levitas, Lou Michel, Bill Morlin, Kerry Noble, Randy Norfleet, Mark Potok, Bob Ricks, Jennifer Rodgers, Kat Schroeder<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 2, NYC, 1\/26\/17<\/strong>
\nOpens: February 3, 2017 followed by a PBS premiere on February 7, 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is reason to believe that Barak Goodman, who wrote and directed this documentary about the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, was not aware of how relevant his film could be today given the results of the recent presidential election.\u00a0 Filled with the usual array of talking heads, \u201cOklahoma City\u201d could be taken as an indictment of the five hundred (500!) far-right militias that are making war on our government at a level even more relevant now to the impact that their ideas may have on our newly elected government.\u00a0 Some of the militias like the strangely named alt.-right are supportive of the White House not because they think that the president will advance their cause to the letter but because they never before enjoyed the birth of an administration that tiptoes around rejecting their support.<\/p>\n

While after the Second World War the United States considered communist nations, particularly the Soviet Union, to be the ideological enemy to defeat, our country is now more concerned impact of far-right organizations and especially Islamic radicals.<\/p>\n

Goodman\u2019s film, while stressing Timothy McVeigh\u2019s virtually one-man show in accumulating the needed materials for a bomb which he detonated on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, spends almost half of its ninety-eight minutes giving the backdrop\u2014not way back to third-party structures like the anti-Catholic Know Nothing movement of 1855 but stretching to the mischief-making of two of McVeigh\u2019s forefathers.\u00a0 One is the Ruby Ridge, Idaho militia run by Randy Weaver, which held a standoff with federal agents in 1992, the Law attacking the compound because of its storage of weaponry to be used against the government.\u00a0 The other, more publicized one, involved the struggle one year later at Mt. Carmel, outskirts of Waco, Texas, the FBI involved in a standoff with David Koresh\u2019s so-called Branch Davidians.\u00a0 (Though David Koresh had doused the compound with fuel, leading to a fiery end to remaining occupants, the government was long charged with going beyond limits in burning the unit down.)<\/p>\n

Enter Timothy McVeigh, a veteran of the Gulf War who was washed out of the Rangers program, returned to civilian life unable to find a job.\u00a0 McVeigh got the public eye at first by selling White Power bumper stickers in Waco, then assembling the fertilizer and other equipment to bomb the Murrah building.\u00a0 His epiphany came from reading the right-wing novel \u201cThe Turner Diaries\u201d), written in 1978, a fantasy about blowing up the FBI building in D.C. (The pen is mightier than the sword.)\u00a0 Among the one hundred sixty-eight dead were children, some of whose bodies we see on the screen, their deaths justified by McVeigh as \u201ccollateral damage\u201d (not mentioned in the documentary).\u00a0 Showing no emotion at the trial, he went to his death by lethal injection in 2001, three months before the bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n

The doc should have spent more time focusing on McVeigh, citing the two historic events that influenced him and giving attention to any filmed studies of the trial and the defense that McVeigh\u2019s lawyers chose.\u00a0 Since talking heads are arguably the chief reason that documentaries are generally shunned by movie audiences, less time could have been spent listening to the array of interviews, and more celluloid on the damage done in Oklahoma City.\u00a0 Still, given the increase in prestige being enjoyed by the far-right in the West, this film remains essential viewing by an intelligent, politically-minded audience<\/p>\n

The U.S. is not the only country to dabble in right-wing politics.\u00a0 Since multi-culturalism is the bane of the extremists, we see their activity reaching a renaissance today in Europe, with France, Germany and Greece potentially on the verge of electing political leaders who might ban non-white, or at any rate, Muslim immigration.<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 98 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong>
