Forgetting Dad

by

Netflix Junkie just recommended Forgetting Dad. The reviewer Ipshita Chakraborty writes: "Some stories not only provoke thoughts but also preserve the introspective pain of loss and oblivion. Forgetting Dad is one such story that invites audiences into a narrative wash of memory, identity, and time as one man's life was turned around in an accident. For this 2008 documentary, that is not just backstory but an emotional heft still resonating in the streaming era of 2025." It's great to see that such an "old" film is still reaching new audiences.
