Linda,
Thanks for your review. Only other one I've seen from a caver was from Gill Ediger on Facebook: "I went to the picture show. It was,
what, No Place on Earth. Despite the appearance of Rykwalder's name in the credits it turned out to be a pretty damned good cave movie. Bravo!"
Gill is of course kidding about Phillip Rykwalder, who was listed in the credits as "Cave Logistics" or something similar.
I went to the 5:20 showing in Austin and was disappointed there were only about 20 people. I did see at least one group of cavers going in
for the next show.
Re your comment "Families and people today would not be able to survive 1-1/2 years in a cave." Although most "typical" urban families
today probably wouldn't survive that situation, there are a lot of outdoor types (e.g., cavers, river rats, climbers, etc) plus "country" folks
(e.g., traditional farmers & ranchers) who are used to being self-sufficient and improvising. I think you and I know quite a few folks,
including many on these lists, who would have a lot better chance of surviving than most.
If the movie doesn't get enough viewers for a more expanded release, I hope
that at least it will be available on DVD. It's worth seeing.

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!"
Anyway, if you get a chance to see the movie, you will be affected by it.
