Dear critical thinker,
The footage on the 1992 video is a reenaction
by actors. There is no original footage from 1971.
As I said, it is as though one were watching an
episode of Cops and instead of the reality
footage of real cops and the folks they deal
with that we are used to seeing on the TV
(Saturday, 7pm Central on Fox), one were to
see the episode reenacted by hired actors.
Mike
