Review of The Ambassador (2011) by Jon D — 10 Dec 2013
In a time when it seems like every other documentary tries to be gritty and tongue-in-cheek at the same time, 'The Ambassador' succeeds in being both, and much more. This is a jarring, sometimes hard to follow, and sometimes strangely comedic, piece of gonzo journalism that sheds a light on political corruption in a part of the world that would be fortunate to be referred to as "Third World".
'The Ambassador' makes even the best efforts of '60 Minutes' to be hard-hitting look like a Disney films. It's difficult to watch, and will leave you scratching your head, but it's hard not to enjoy.
