Dying to be Heard 2013


     This film is based on true events.  Rachel works very hard and she’s trying to climb the corporate ladder.  She receives a raise, a promotion and a larger office for her work landing a new client for the firm.  Rachel rarely takes any time for herself but she goes out with her two girlfriends to celebrate.  She gets a little bit drunk and her friends try to talk her into leaving with them but she won’t listen.  Another story alongside the story of Rachel is about Jordan, he is an elderly man in the hospital.  He’s not expected to live but background information is given about him and his family.  The Germans rounded up Jordan’s father during WWII but he managed to escape from the train.  He was adopted by an older couple and moved to America.
     There is a LOT going on in this film and Rachel, Jordan and Jordan’s father have a lot in common.  Jordan was always different and he never fit in.  His talent was that he could play the accordion.  Is Rachel going to continue to stress herself over her job every day?  What happened to Jordan’s father after he came to America?  The stories are interesting and you wonder how this film is going to turn out.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)  

90 min, Drama directed by Alyse Nicole Merritt with Gary T. Nolan, H. Samuel Santiago, Alyse Nicole Merritt, Jeffrey Scallon.

Note:  Amazon 3* out of 5* with 44 reviews.  There isn’t very much information about this film online?  Nicole Merritt wrote and directed this film.
