Fascinating & Moving Story

This is a fascinating and moving documentary. It is both personal and historically significant, full of twists and turns, and takes you on a ride that is beautiful, unexpected, tragic, and nostalgic. It is fortunate this story has been told before being lost to the passage of time. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
