For Bob Albee, it was an unexpected and moving experience — to sit in a small theatre in Whitehorse, watching his now-deceased parents and siblings on screen, in a decades-old film that had almost been lost to time. 

“I had tears in my eyes,” Albee said, following the well-attended screening last week.

“The joy of watching my folks doing the most important thing in their lives, and seeing that their experience resonated with people watching the film … it was overwhelming.”
