This a documentary that gets close to its subjects \u2013 through the heightened lens of a partially-animated heist film.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/proxyau.wrlc.org\/login?url=http:\/\/american.kanopystreaming.com\/node\/140266\">You can follow this link<\/a> to watch the film instantly, in your browser, for free with your AU login.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year ago, we rolled out Kanopy, a streaming service that includes hundreds of films from the Criterion Collection and more.
