I often times realize that maybe the most difficult thing to do in filmmaking is to make what is considered a great movie that is uplifting and genuinely inspiring without being cheesy or manipulative. Dear Zachary:A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) is exactly that type of film. It is a documentary of immense power, that gives us two characters that should be considered modern day Saints. This is not an easy watch by any means because it will strike some sort of emotional chord, whether it be tears, anger or love, or as in my case all of the above. It is a film that tries you but leaves you feeling that even through tragedy there is a lot to love about life. It may be the most life affirming movie I have ever seen.
