The Genius of Marian is a very personal film.

In intimate, diary form, White borrows the title of his mother's unfinished book to chronicle her battle against the inevitable, and the equally courageous efforts of her husband and children in caring for her.

As a human being I resonated deeply with it and greatly admired the family's willingness and commitment to sharing their journey.
