What was most impressive was that he didn't take the easy, sensationalist route for his at times dramatic subject . He let the people he was filming speak for themselves. It is therefore with considerable anticipation that I view his work on the life of James Chasse. Chasse's death begged many critical questions for our community and I imagine Lindstrom is as capable as it gets to address them while humanizing the man whom police apparently dismissed as less than human.
