Pierre Sauvage documentaries

Samuel Pisar, my first cousin, my mother's nephew, was a major influence in my life.

I had nearly completed work on a documentary tribute to “Mula,” as I knew him, when I was compelled to abandon it, even though his message of hope and reconciliation seems especially pressing today. The documentary was going to draw on Leonard Bernstein's powerful “Kaddish” Symphony, as well as on the new text for it written by his friend Pisar.

Sam was also Antony Blinken's stepfather, and the former Secretary of State has referred frequently to all that he owes to Sam, a Holocaust survivor, prominent international lawyer, and author (Of Blood and Hope).

I am making available below:
1) thirteen minutes from my abandoned work-in-progress documentary (a password is needed to access);
2) a filmed interview I did with Samuel Pisar in 1981.
