Today, on Leonard Lopate At Large….Ruth Beckerman
“In Ruth Beckerman’s incisive documentary ‘The Waldheim Waltz,’ the director treats former U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim as a poster boy of the phenomenon.
Using only footage from the 1970s and ’80s, some of which she shot herself while protesting Waldheim’s successful bid for the Austrian presidency, Beckermann methodically reveals the timeline of revelations detailing her subject’s Nazi affiliations, and how notwithstanding the evidence, a majority of the electorate in 1986 still voted him into office.” – Jay Weissberg, Variety
