I felt honored & privileged to view the movie today at Caltech. I have been friends with several custodians in the past--wonderful people. I was very moved by this film. I'm looking forward to the day it can be viewed on PBS. Thank you, Patrick Shen.

ABOUT: Described as “a mu...st-see, both for the quality of the filmmaking and its emotional depth,” by the Takoma/Silver Spring Voice (Md.) and “a deeply human exploration of the people we never see,” by Jason Silva, Current TV, “The Philosopher Kings” weaves together thought-provoking stories of triumph and tragedy from the lives of eight university custodians who unveil insightful wisdom derived from surviving hard times, lost loves, and shattered dreams.

Jim Antenore Joy, It is great to stay in touch in this way. Thanks! I like what I heard so far. Clinton says what I have tried to get across to my students for decades, that we should care about both the seen and the unseen people in our lives. The more one ponders this idea, the more profound and far reaching it becomes. Our conne...ctions with each other reach across the globe and into tucked-away corners of the world. The lives of the custodians at IHS alone are interesting enough to write a book about. Some of them have, beyond what many people would imagine, lived heroic lives. Look forward to seeing the film!
Jim
