:40:02
He did, with his family.
But his cousins,
:40:06
they had to stay
and they were all killed.
:40:09
If he'd stayed,
he would've been killed.
:40:12
So in my book,
he's a survivor.
:40:15
Even though it was only
his cousins that were killed?
:40:18
That could've happened
to him, or to me,
:40:21
if I'd been alive.
Or you.
:40:24
Or me?
:40:28
You mean,
then we're all survivors?
:40:31
Well, yes.
:40:33
If it hadn't been
for Hitler,
:40:35
he wouldn't have had
to leave Europe.
:40:39
We would've been European.
:40:44
But then, in a sense,
:40:47
since you would've
never met Dad
:40:49
if your family
had stayed in Europe,
:40:51
if it weren't for Hitler
none of us would've been born.
:40:58
Get the hell out of here.
:41:01
Man--!
:41:03
ItÂ’s just, like,
conversation.
:41:10
Tell me...
:41:12
you make a living at this?
:41:15
Well, sir,
:41:17
I'm actually not doing this
for the money.
:41:21
When you make a documentary,
:41:23
you do it for many reasons.
:41:25
But money is certainly
not one of them.
:41:29
I don't get it.
:41:34
Well, sir...
:41:38
a lot has happened
to the landscape
:41:41
of the suburban high school
since I was a student.
:41:44
I feel it would
be a valuable,
:41:47
perhaps even
enlightening endeavor,
:41:50
to chronicle the changes.
:41:53
To get intimate
with the realities
:41:56
kids and parents face
in American schools today.
