Movie Haiku:Surprisingly dull doc about Wachtang Korisheli (nickname Botso) a man who has lived a full life & needs more adept storytellers to do it justice. Botso was born in the Republic of Georgia when it was under Soviet domination. His artistic parents fell afoul of Stalin, but he escaped & became a much-loved music teacher in California.
