Redt'Blue (2022)
Jay Martin effortlessly blends local history national politics whilst staying true to the events, the people and the sentiments both then and now.
Content, directing, cinematography were impressive and very high quality. For me, it was even more impressive the way that Martin took the time to make a film about Mansfield and about a very significant event. I believe that this kind of film done in this way is very good for our area. On top of that Martin picked something that is significant to our town and our nation. He effortlessly combined historic footage with current political feeling and managed to capture, without being partisan, the sentiment of hope that sits behind the events. The poem at the beginning and the title Red t'Blue are master strokes and show that Martin understands the subject matter in its own dialect. I mean that in a literal and metaphorical way. He's captured something significant and more than that he's done it justice. Well done Jay Martin.
