a man. his eight year old son

I saw it as a lovely short film. For theme, indreed, for young Jack Hollington, for fair performance of Morgan Watkins, for atmosphere, tension and family spirit against master interests. A page of medical history, well reminded, beautiful crafted , touching defined detail by detail. A great job sounds a fair definition. Because it is a profound useful recreation of the sensitivity of a time in honest manner, as a sort of reflection of present. The first smallpox vaccine, experimented on an eight year old boy of a farmer, as result of a sort of blackmail. A precise crafted story, useful remind.
