Dear Sirs

About This Movie

Dear Sirs is this intimate documentary that peels away layers of family history and generational trauma. Mark Pedri, the filmmaker, embarks on a personal journey fueled by the late discovery of his grandfather Silvio's letters and photographs. It’s not just about the artifacts, though; it dives deeply into themes of memory, identity, and the impact of war on personal lives. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, as we ride alongside Mark across Europe, absorbing both the landscapes and the gravity of his grandfather's past as a prisoner of war. There's a rawness to the storytelling that feels genuine, almost like watching an old family album come to life. It’s really about connections we often overlook, and the way history shapes who we are today.
