There are a couple of nice things in it; I remember doing a... again, the director whose name I can't remember had no interest in shots or angles or coverage, or he didn't know... didn't know and didn't care, so I did all that, but the only thing I remember as being quite wonderful was coverage of a riot, where freedom rioters are coming on a bus and local hoodlums begin to bang on the bus and... and punch them and hit them and I... I covered it with a little 16mm camera and I did it handheld and then I had the camera be hit and fall over on its side and lie on its side and... as if it just was rolling, so the image is on the side – you can see this chaos going on – and that was kind of fun.
