Whirlybird [Available Jan. 22 via streaming on MUBI.] Matt Yoka's compelling, fascinating, informative, well-paced, highly personal, 103-minute, 2020 documentary that uses archival film footage, news clips, home movies, and interview snippets with family, including mom Judy Tur, daughter and journalist Katy Tur, and son James Tur, to showcase the tumultuous marriage and successful 20-plus-year careers of innovative, ambitious, peripatetic Los Angeles reporters Zoey Tur (formerly Bob Tur who began the Los Angeles News Service) and Marika Gerrard as they flew in a helicopter over greater Los Angeles during the 1980s and 1990s to document explosive breaking news, including rampant wildfires, car accidents, earthquake devastation, plane crashes, the violent L.A. riots in 1992 after the horrific and senseless beating by police of 25-year-old Rodney King, drive-by shootings, drug busts, and car chases, including O.J. Simpson driving erratically in his white Ford bronco on an L.A. freeway in 1994.
