The List

COMING SOON: Beth Murphy's The List (US/Iraq, 2012) The Lord High Executioner in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Mikado" gloats about his "little list" of future victims, but Kirk Johnson totes around a bigger one in "The List" -- several huge binders' worth. On it are names, credentials, commendations and profiles of Iraqis whose faithful service on behalf of various U.S. forces and agencies have exposed them and their families to terrorist reprisals. Though the pic traces Oskar Schindler-esque heroic actions by a lone American in a fight for justice, its effectiveness stems equally from the autonomy it grants its Iraqi protagonists.
