Yes! Happy Labor Day!
Very impressive for someone 16 years old. Here’s wishing George Moore and all young men and women filmmakers (including documentarians) all the best in their endeavors.
Thanks, Jerry, I so agree. I can’t believe how good this is. What he did was get the gist of the story in 42 minutes. He’s remarkable and hopefully will continue doing more in his future. He also shared it freely on his Youtube channel. A good Socialist, indeed.
Happy Labor Day!
