Description

This Spotlight Episode of More Like This highlights two documentaries centering on grief and loss with a fictional twist. Beginning with Kirsten Johnson’s "Dick Johnson is Dead," Michael Moore questions Johnson about the humorous approach to her father’s looming death and all the ways she incorporated fantasy to share their familial story about dementia. Then, Johnson switches roles to moderate a roundtable for the documentary short "What Would Sophia Loren Do?" The film explores Loren’s external influence on one family’s connection to Italy, grief and cinema. Geralyn White Dreyfous, Robin Honan, Ross Kauffman, Regina K. Scilly and the film’s lead heartthrob and grandmother, Nancy Kulik join in conversation. Sì, grazie!
