    Much more than you would expect.

    You cannot lose watching this short. It's perfect. It is a great story. I am quite the history buff and it had at least one segment that got so excited that I had to share with friends. This story is true and has so much go on so well told and such a short amount of time. It's also done with a very human type of humor, where the humor is just the amazing understanding. All I can give away is I think mom wins as far as the humor goes. Human beings are so amazing. I have quite the connections to the story and know about that stepfather. Quantity over quality on reviews so my added 60 characters will be thank you to the people that made this.
