In a brief time it covers so much history, ground, personality, humanity. From contemporary footage of the chaos of the day, to quiet moments of people reflecting, to the full circle of the story returning from where it came, NYC. My Grandmother was from Glace Bay, not Gander, but the same generosity, kindness & fun & they do carry it with them wherever they go in the world & to whatever strangers they may meet. What I love most about the Ganderites, their guests & recounting & celebrating their stories is that it's such a great middle finger to those who caused the tragedy in the 1st place. It is moving because it is both memorial of loss but also a tribute to surviving. No wonder the stage production has become a global success, it lets us share, celebrate & remember both our grief & our humanity. Kiss the cod!
