When I see the living, breathing portraits of these characters, especially the early archival footage... To see them intelligent and smart – they were a kind of blessing considering how they have been caricatured in later times. I like what this film explores and I’m glad to be a part of it. Robert Redford “This film is stunning and literally left me speechless. It is so powerful on so many levels, whether personal, political, spiritual or ultimately facing death. It is an amazing piece of work. Thank you so much for doing it. You will make history with it.” Ambassador Joe Wilson “A great piece of work and an extraordinary story well told.” Sting “The film left me open. It’s a historic document chronicling two majestic lives.” Jeff Bridges “It is highly entertaining and enlightening on all levels. I was never bored!” Kathryn Altman “gay- i just finished watching your documentary “dying to know” again.
