...meeting lasted 45 minutes, and the trouble began as it ended. To the surprise of Republican Burns, who had presumed that the session would be unpublicized, Johnson proposed that the press be briefed immediately.

Burns refused Heller's request to join him in the briefing, and Heller went on to say that the main note of the meeting had been "a general feeling of broad consensus."

In the movie, the two cameramen play a central role. Everything is seen through their eyes and lenses and it is only through them that the junkies can speak to their anonymous audience. Middlemen sap the film's power...
