I loved this docu! The historical footage and the funeral footage edited with these lovely and healing moments of the Mother and Son talking together, then cutting to the memory moments of looking at photos on the big screen, then cutting to the wonderous beauty of nature...! So well done! The comment on how the natural surroundings of the island cannot be separated from their lives... it is there for them, in the good times and bad. It was a great way to capture the very soul of the nation and peoples' intimate relationship to the land! The subtitles were added just where they were needed. Everything was so well done. I even liked the jiggly camera parts, it added to the rawness of the documentary style and the authenticity of the piece.
