I strongly agree. I had suggested to Gill, Linda, and Louise that they send their positive reviews to Janet Tobias (Director and Executive Producer), and Chris Nicola. Philip Rykwalder (livetoc...@hotmail.com) would probably appreciate them, too.

A month or so ago I had sent a minor correction on their website to Janet (a typo: Michel Siffre exited Midnight Cave in 1972, not 1962), and also asked about the limited distribution. She made the correction immediately and replied:

"This is actually only the first wave of releases. IF we do well (cross my fingers) in the first weeks they are going to release it in up to 70 more markets so it will go much broader in texas and elsewhere. So help us get as many people as possible to the theater in Austin!" Cavers will appreciate the realistic cave scenes, but it's the people who are the real story.

Bill,

If you and any others think it may be worth the drive, then it is worth you sending the movie folks a message of support via their website. Knowing that people living 2.5 hours away would be willing to come to Carlsbad to see the movie will carry a lot of weight.

Thanks,

George

    Hey grotto and SWR cavers,

         We went to see "No Place on Earth" movie last night in Santa Fe. It 
was only $9, cheaper than other movies; a documentary that was
    well worth seeing. I was nearly crying by the end. It is very stirring. I 
hope we can get it at The Guild in Albuquerque. There were 0
    other cavers at the showings in Santa Fe (at The Screen, on the campus of 
University of Art and Design) besides us.

         At the 2007 convention in Indiana, a presentation was given by the author 
(the main character in the movie) of "The Secret of
    Priest's Grotto." We went to the presentation then, and I was moved to buy 
the book and have it autographed. The movie characterizes the
    families, their trials, their stories of survival and determination to 
escape from the Nazis during World War II, when the Germans invaded
    the Ukraine. The movie makes you think, "Could I do this with my family if I had to." 
 My answer is "NO!"  Families and people today would
    not be able to survive 1-1/2 years in a cave.
         Anyway, if you  get a chance to see the movie, you will be affected by 
it.
