I'm with you, Michael. As much as I would prefer to be paid, I would rather
the documentary (and its subject) get the respect it deserves and supporting
it not cost a whole lot. I am grateful that the filmakers have gone to the
trouble to do this as well as it appears that they have. I am looking
forward to seeing the final product do well.
