Movie Spotlight: Tabloid (2010)

I'm a bit behind on this as I just got married and spent a week honeymooning, and then returned home to only find my internet was out. To catch up though, famed Errol Morris released a documentary a couple of weeks ago, The Unknown Known. Now this documentary film maker seems to like to cover controversial and interesting figures. In Tabloid he doesn't fail to find the bizarre, and made the subject, Joyce McKinney file a lawsuit against him she was so upset with his portrayal.

Summary: Joyce McKinney was Miss Wyoming in the 70's, and she seemed like a sweet nature and innocent girl, that is until she found herself in the midst of a tabloid scandal. She was dating a Mormon man who she fell for, and was planning to marry. She says once he disappeared though she went looking for him, and thought he become the victim of a cult, though he had just joined as a missionary. McKinney kidnapped him though she claims it was just to rescue him. Now Morris interviews McKinney and gets her side of the story alon with those who were around her at the time.
