First Cousin Once Removed

Alan Berliner's new film, “First Cousin Once Removed,” documents the decline and the death of his cousin, the poet and scholar Edwin Honig.

I was fortunate to see a shorter version of this film a few years ago at The New York Film Festival... and it is moving and brilliant. It is currently available on HBO at On Demand.

The filmmaker Alan Berliner is my friend and he was the inspiration for all of my work at my many blogs. I wrote about my meetings with Alan here:
