Shorter is sweeter, as this year's Oscar nominees for documentary short film cover a range of fascinating subjects, from a racist’s redemption to human attempts to spare endangered wildlife.
How long does a documentary need to be? Frederick Wiseman frequently goes long, and Oscar-winning “OJ: Made in America” ran nearly eight hours. Lately, with “Bill Russell: Legend” and “Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker,” streamers have embraced the “two-part documentary” — a fancy term for what used to be called a miniseries.
Separating these two eco-focused shorts, Joshua Seftel’s half-hour “Stranger at the Gate” is one of those rare stories that turns a horrific hate crime — an aborted domestic terrorism strike, wherein Richard McKinney reversed his plans to bomb the Islamic Center of Muncie — into a plea for redemption. The way “Mac” and members of the mosque tell it, the xenophobic ex-Marine wandered in one day looking out of place.
Rounding out the nearly three-hour program is Netflix’s fascinating and frequently enraging “The Martha Mitchell Effect,” a 39-minute history lesson on or flashback to the Watergate scandal that brought down Richard Nixon’s presidency.
