There are so many documentaries out there, it can be difficult to wade through the muck to find the best ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But whenever I have the chance to recommend just one to someone interested in the genre, the answer comes easily. It’s always Dear Zachary<\/em>. The trouble is that this touching, sad, and infuriating movie is the epitome of “You have to go in blind.” The less you know about it, the better. So how do I get you to watch this movie? Don’t watch any trailers. Don’t read any reviews. This spoiler-free article is all you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The catalyst for the film is represented in the title. The movie is about a documentary filmmaker who decides to create a movie about his best friend so the young son he left behind after his death can learn about this great man. With a description like that, you’re probably understanding how important it is to watch this with a box of Kleenex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From there, the movie takes more twists and turns than your favorite theme park rollercoaster. You’ll run the gamut of emotions to the point of feeling wrung-out afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s what I’m doing right now. After you watch this documentary film, you’ll likely tell all your friends to watch it for two big reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe basic premise of Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father<\/em> (2008)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is the perfect movie to recommend to others.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
