Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill a Mockingbird

2010
82 minutes
English
Documentary
5 Stars

An interesting documentary about Harper Lee. This is a short movie, and seemed even shorter. This is mostly clips from the movie and comments from those who knew her. I had forgotten (if I ever knew it) that she was Summer neighbors of Truman Capote when they were children. Lee's sister is interviewed, and gives some insights not generally known. The couple who made it possible for her to write the book are also interviewed, as well as such luminaries as Tom Brokaw, Andrew Young, Rosanne Cash, and many more. This is not an in-depth documentary, but it isn't all fluff, either. I thought it well worth my time. Enjoyable and Informative.
