29 January 2003 | by (Shirley, Long Island, New York) – See all my reviews

I have seen this documentary several times and basically agree with the majority of the other comments posted. I saw it again last night on HBO and was wondering how the family is doing. It would be great to see some sort of follow up to the family to see if any of them have, hopefully, worked through a lot of the overwhelmingly powerful issues they have. Hopefully Mr. Whitney will think about some sort of followup.
