Movie Haiku:Another doc about a sick kid? We went because we had to & we are so glad we did. With expert control of the material, the Fines keep their story moving forward--the best of science, the best of humanity--a celebration of optimism in the face of all the reasons for despair. Jan, who normally watches so cynically, was totally taken & Rich who spends every day in hospitals was too.
