Can't. Stop. Thinking....

Justin already wrote on his blog about this movie...but it's been days and I can not stop thinking about Zachary.

We watched this documentary on Netflix the other night, called Dear Zachary. I have seen probably hundreds of documentaries by now...it is my favorite type of filmmaking...and this one...is really sticking to me. It's so so so so so unbelievable...how could this story be true? When it's over you wish so badly it was just a movie but since it's real, it makes you ache so much. If you really want to know what it feels like to have a rock stuck in your throat for an hour and a half, watch this film. I broke down crying at least 3 times, and four times since the movie ended. And yet, I'm so glad I saw it. Like how I felt after seeing Schindler's List.

Okay, in a nutshell...

This guy was finishing his medical residency in Family practice...in Latrobe, PA. He'd been dating this older woman briefly and kept trying to get rid of her. He was not interested. He finally had to put her on a plane and send her back to her home town.

You know what, you're just going to have to rent it.
