Discussion
Posted this in General Gassing yesterday - recommend you try and see this if you can.
This Was My Dad - The Rise & Fall of Geoffrey Matthews.
Caught this on BBC4 the other night, charting the life and death of car designer Geoffrey Matthews - one of the most affecting and moving, tragic and yet somehow uplifting films I've seen in a long time - if you can find the time, you'll be richly rewarded.

The uplifting part for me, was that he died a loved man.
No matter that he hadn't lived a perfect life (which of us has) but at the end, there was someone there to mark his existence.
That he'd come from difficult beginnings, reached great highs and lows and was loved and would be missed.
What could have been an entirely tragic narrative became more than that.
