What an amazing film and accurate portrayal of secrets that we all keep in our souls and hearts! It is very moving and also shows the connections of trust between grandparents and grandchildren. Thank you,

Sundown was beautifully acted and directed. Wonderful story telling! Revealing an important part of ourselves – whatever that is – should never have to wait until the end of one’s life
