*Note: As someone who has viewed this film, what resonates with me most, is not the meticulous re-tracing of steps of the path of his father (which is incredible by the way), but the filmmaker's passion and care to make this a personal journey without putting himself in the forefront. A solid, informative, and enlightening film. MT
