Update (11 April 2023)
It is with great sadness, that we announce that one of the documentary’s original creators, and our dear friend, Albert Lavalley passed away this morning. Al was an amazing human being and he will be missed by all who loved him. While his achievements in life, his anecdotes, and the names of the notable personages with whom his many varied paths in life crossed could fill volumes, those who truly got to know him understood that what was impressive about Al was his capacity to love, his compassion, and his kindness towards others. He was loved by many and will be sorely missed.
