I'm not really familiar with the archival material of this documentary, but I would love to find out more. It's interesting, as a matter of fact, but it feels like it might be a little too much detail. Some of the problems I had with the documentary seemed like they were mostly caused by the cameraman's perspective on the film and not the story itself. So, maybe I should have watched it a second time to get the full effect of what I saw. My point is, I did enjoy this documentary. It was well made, shot well, and had a real documentary feel. It felt like a high school documentary. The problem I had with it was that the main topic of the film seemed to be a glorified documentary, and not a true documentary. I think they should have shown the other side, but, as it is, it's very misleading. I understand the intention of the documentary, but, honestly, I would have liked it to be a little more more honest about the archival material. Some of the anecdotes are fascinating, and, as the documentary shows, the archival footage is really the "hard drive" of the project, and it's a huge focus. But, I thought it was a little misleading to show that it was a documentary, but to show the archival footage as well. It just didn't make sense. I would love to have seen more archival footage, as well as the full documentary. I think it would have been interesting to see how the archival footage was put together, or how much of the film was filmed in one place. I would have loved to have seen the original storyboard. All in all, I think it was a good documentary. I'm still not quite sure if I liked it or not, but it was definitely entertaining.

A retelling of the case of the Marion Stokes. It is a good documentary and I enjoyed the use of real footage. I liked the pacing, and the level of humor in the film. It is a bit slow for my tastes, but overall I think it is good. I give this film a 7 out of 10.

When she was a young girl, Marion Stokes was abused in foster care by a cruel family and lived in a mental institution. During her time in the institution, she wrote down her own name. This collection of several recordings of her stories is now available as a book. It is a significant documentary on Marion's life and the people who knew her. It is narrated by Deena Fidas, who worked with Marion at the Stokes home. The collection consists of three stories, including one about the adoption of Marion's nephew by a family in South Carolina. We also hear from her parents, friends, and care workers. They are often very supportive. The stories are mixed but often have a common thread that resonates with the viewer. The third story has a strong message and is also one of the best. There are many moving and moving moments in this collection. The collection is primarily about Marion and her family. It is also about the people who knew her. The audio is mostly in English. The voices are also mostly of women, and that might be a problem for some. If you have any interest in domestic violence or abuse, this is a must-see.

Film maker Rick Carlisle is a true story about a deaf and dumb man who was incarcerated at the age of 15. Since the moment he was born, he has never spoken, was mute from the age of four to 18, and is only partially functioning. His only instruction was how to use a pen. In an effort to help him talk, his mother took him to a library where a man named Robin Morgan, a famous psychiatrist, started the Talking Machine Project. In what has to be the most infamous film of all time, Carlisle plays the role of Carlisle who has been dubbed "Sharky." The director's take on the subject is also the best of the documentary. They play it extremely similar to the John Wayne classic "The Searchers." Carlisle was forced to act in some of the film and he says that is what he does. I don't know that they even wanted to act in the film. They were just trying to make a film, and one that they could not do. The documentary is a really well done story, but it's sad that Carlisle is still in jail. His name is Robert Carlisle and he is not getting any better.
