This clip is part of my 2 hour program, Making Documentaries, which has been helpful to thousands of budding videographers, filmmakers, moviemakers, storytellers. I was a very young filmmaker when I made it and learned a lot about editing in this process. I tell all in my program which can be found at my website, www.theHoffmancollection.com
I read that book and never forgot it. I never thought it was based on fact.
