Party members admit the platform is unabashedly idealistic and do not claim to have all the answer. In the debate over, the economic plank, Lens said, "It someone asks me how we plan to go about nationalizing these industries. I'll say I frankly don't know.

This is not the filmmaker's fault, for when he made the film he, too, did not know what would become of his extraordinary classmate who bureaucratically didn't exist. But the incompleteness of River's saga brings to our attention the important point that no matter what Center Screen's press releases or posters say, this...
