The unfortunate reality of most "documentaries" is that, regardless of content, non-fiction narrative easily drifts into a stultifying blend of monotonous voice-overs and wooden interviews. Thus, local filmmaker George King is to be congratulated for the vitality and ingenuity of Goin' To Chicago, an ambitious chronicle of the two waves of 20th-century migration that swept black Americans from the rural, agrarian South to the industrial North and West.
