Bonnie and Clyde
John Maggio, the writer, director, and coproducer (with Lindsey Megrue) of the documentary Bonnie and Clyde, seems committed to avoiding the mythologizing that permeated Arthur Penn's 1967 classic of the same name.

Far from glamorous, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are shown as “two-bit Texas hoods” more likely to rob gas stations and grocery s…

All of these methods illuminate this period of state transformation and perceptions of that emergent state in years of first New Deal. This st…
