"It would be so simple to look at this film and say, "There, look. They're enjoying themselves...They don't look like they are suffering at all." Truth is, there are no scripted scenes of misery, no one caught sobbing in uncontrolled grief. These are home movies...taken under normal circumstances, there is an underlying poignancy that transcends the innocent, naive faces on the screen...The true power of home movies is the fact that they don't apologize showing scenes of children playing, people laughing. There is no apology needed."
