Look At Us Now, Mother! | Directed by Gayle Kirschenbaum | 1 hour and 24 min. Feature Documentary | USA, 2015.
With raw honesty comes Gayle Kirschenbaum’s personal story of pain, survival and being born into the wrong family. Equal parts humor and pathos, Gayle invites the viewer on an odyssey of discovery with no bump in the road edited out.

Using 8mm home movies, vintage photographs, and even Gayle’s childhood drawings and diaries, the family history is thrown into sharp relief.
