We watched Dear Zachary, A letter to a son about his father tonight. 

I had never even heard of it before this afternoon, when I read a tiny blurb about it on Rosie's blog. And now it is something that I will never forget. IT IS HARD TO WATCH !

Seriously, read that list of words again.. limits, justice, sanity ( or Insanity). How much can one person be expected to bear. Be careful if you watch this, honestly.

"Stamping it bluntly, Dear Zachary is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and I am not prone to such hyperbolic statements. Kurt Kuenne has remarkably turned this into a furious lightning bolt of reminiscence and outrage that is going to reach into each viewer's chest and squeeze their heart like a tomato in a vice. Dear Zachary unfolds like a masterful thriller that never loses respect for the wake its tragedies have left. And still, by the end when we're exhausted and ready to collapse under the weight of our tears and anger, Kuenne has created an absolute love letter to the art of parenting...it's the best documentary of its kind probably since Errol Morris' The Thin Blue Line. This is Oscar-worthy material and hopefully enough people on the committees will see it and cast a vote for next year." - Erik Childress, eFilmCritic.com

"One of the best documentaries I have ever seen in my entire life... a film that will rock you to your core. You will cry. You will hurt – and this film will sit with you for days, weeks, months. But you will come away believing in people. Believing that even where there is evil, there is also a tremendous amount of good." - Erik Davis, Cinematical.com

It is an instant watch on NETFLIX right now, and going to be broadcast on MSNBC Sunday, April 26, 11pm.

 I really don't want to say too much about the actual documentary. It is what it says it is, a letter , a love letter. What I will take away from it are the first and last words in my little list: Family and Limitlessness... family is who you choose to love, who chooses to love you.. and with that comes limitless good, limitless love, limitless power. And in the end, this power can .. can over come the worst , that most horrible , that life can throw at you.

A most powerful film.
