Forgetting Dad

Germany, USA 2008 / Documentary / 84 minutes / Director: Rick Minnich, Matt Sweetwood / Universal

Rated Especially Worthwhile

Film Evaluation Authority's (FBW) assessment of the film

»The documentarist Rick Minnich's voyage of discovery to the man "who was once my father". The consequences of a car accident apparently "wiped out his first 44 years of life" ... "Forgetting Dad" – an ever stimulating and stirring psychological drama about the construction of one's own reality. It is (in the credits) "dedicated to the old and the new Richard". At the beginning of the film there was Rick Minnich's question: "If your father doesn't remember you, does he stop being your father?“«
