What a story!

So poignant, revealing and captivating. Linda has made a film that is very relatable yet it highlights the uniqueness of the individual experience. I went into the film thinking I knew the story only to find I knew little. So many of us are rising to similar challenges with our parents and Linda's story reinforces that this is a precious time to know them in new ways. There were many lines drawn in the big picture of this family; each member with their own part. I appreciated the interplay of old footage with new and the special relationship between Linda and her father. She clearly inherited his interest in chronicling life. A beautifully crafted narrative. I am looking forward to seeing more of Linda's work, past and future.
