Q&A with director Doug Block


Director Doug Block (founder of D-Word.com) explores his own family secrets in this intensely personal film. The critics at the Toronto Film Festival had this to say:

“51 Birch Street is the latest autobiographical doc sensation” – Toronto Star

“as engrossing as any murder mystery but without melodrama or histrionics, could be this year’s “Capturing the Friedmans”  – RogerEbert.com

“This is wonderful non-fiction storytelling.” – Indiewire (The Back Row Manifesto)
