Rewards at last

I would like to thank Elaine Dutka for so thoroughly and positively covering the burgeoning state of nonfiction film in “Verite’s Very Hot Days,” March 14). We are really thrilled about seeing so many great films and filmmakers finally reaping the rewards of what had, for so many years, seemed like thankless work.
