Everyone should see this

Absolutely a wonderful film. I wished I had seen it when I was young and having trouble with sibling relationships. The film is basically a diary of two typical brothers as they grow up in a Mormon family experiencing very typical hopes and challenges. There is an interviewer, but you never see him and he hardly ever talks. The genius of this film is how the interviewer somehow is able to draw out the inner feelings of these brothers periodically as they grow to adulthood. It doesn't seem staged at all, but I don't know anything about the making of the film. It probably sounds boring, but it is extremely captivating and takes you on an emotional roller-coaster of empathy to joy, ups and downs, laughter and tears. A very uplifting film for all. I highly recommend it. I would love to have something like this for my own family. Maybe I'll start one.
