The Austin Film Society screened this doc tonight at the downtown Alamo. The filmmakers and Tommy Lee Jones (who narrated it) were there for a Q&A afterward. It's about that teenager in '97 who was gunned down in a microscopic Texas border town by a handful of covert Marines (who were quickly removed from that area after). I had totally forgotten about the incident (the government did a heckuva job promoting the situation to obscurity). Worth a looksee.
