Another reason the Holocaust has traction here: we have a huge population of Jews in this country; we were directly involved in stopping the perpetrators of that horrific event; the repercussions of the Holocaust still reverberate in today's ME.
With all the movies, documentaries, and essays which have generated a Holocaust genre, I don't know how much more is needed on the subject...but it is germane.
Congratulations!

...that before we made "Paper Clips" I was also of the opinion that there were too many Holocaust films vying for attention and awards. But then we found this lovely little story and were compelled to tell it. As some commentators have pointed out, it's pretty different than most Holocaust stories. There are very, very few historical images of any kind, and there's not a single one that is horrifying.A few have said it really isn't a Holccaust film at all, but a story about the small town where the story takes place. We really fell in love with the people of Whitwell, Tennessee.
I'll let viewers make up their own minds about these matters.

little town and I'll have to wait for video...sure hopes it makes it there soon.
Video (DVD) should be out Spring or Summer, but we haven't started that work yet. HBO and/or HBO Family broadcast expected in September 05.
