  Male Senators (1991)
Movie Haiku:Update on the life of Anita Hill 20 years after she was called to the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify when Clarence Thomas was nominated to serve on the Supreme Court. Mock rejects the "He Said/She Said" formula. If someone else wants to make another doc from the Thomas POV, fine. This doc is about Hill! Jan was exhilarated, but Rich found final third a let down.
