An Edited Life

At 79-years old, former film editor Jocelyne Bourgeois is goaded, coaxed, challenged by me, her persistent filmmaker grandson, to face her true identity, because it is my story too. We embark together to the places she has avoided since WWII, putting back the scenes she edited out. Facing this deleted past is painful but a life changing gift for us both.
