“It was so straight ahead with no fuzzy bits. No one who sees this movie can be unmoved. He was a wonderful man who did so much. He spoke no words but after time all heard his message; honesty courage and staying true to who he was. Fantastic actors made this story become alive. Thanks for showing this story. Most of the crowd that were watching most crying at many points in the movie. It’s a pity younger ones don’t see this as there are so many strong messages to give; what our forefathers did is now beyond comprehension. There is so much to say but can’t as there is no one left from this age, but we can remember and say thank-you to all who gave so much and got nothing back.”John.
