Review of Jessie's Dad (2011) by Syddhartha G — 14 Jan 2016
It's incredible to me what the power of TRUE journalism can do. An honest film like this gives a holistic insight into Marks journey and transformation from grieving parent to social activist, a step that many of those struck by tragedy are too disheartened to move to.
The fact that a man with not even a high school education so passionately pursues a complex legal understanding in order to do what he feels he must do to help make a difference makes Lunsburg such a fascinating character to follow, and connect to.
This film has since helped him pass Jessica's law in 46 states. Projects like this are the reason I love working on documentary films. They move and inspire people to make changes--as nothing is more honest and emotionally heartbreaking then seeing the raw human condition devoid of theatrical expression.
