I caught this film a couple of years ago and really liked it. It would be lots of fun to watch with the director, I'd imagine.
it was chuck. yesterday was the first time i had a chance to meet sam and he was great. there were between 25-30 students, some USF staff members, and some non-USF visitors in attendance. it's a powerful film, naturally, so there was a noticeable impact by the time it was finished. sam stuck around answering questions for about 30 minutes. an excellent event.
