 "America's
Heart & Soul," an uplifting documentary about ordinary/extraordinary
Americans opening July 2, is a good way to celebrate this
year's Independence Day. A rare documentary release by
Disney's Buena Vista Pictures, the movie was a 10-year
labor of love by Louis Schwartzberg, who literally crisscrossed
"the land of the free" in search of people living interesting
and inspirational lives. Featuring gorgeous cinematography
stretching from coast-to-coast, the film is full of sweeping
vistas and action photography taken of people with unusual
professions such as a New York bicycle messenger, an acrobatic
pilot from Florida and a cowboy from Telluride. Along
with the scenery and the real-life stories come bits of
shared wisdom learned from experience that make for a
meaningful as well as entertaining cinematic experience.
