David Gilmore's Memoir "The Film Club"
David Gilmour's unconventional family memoir, "The Film Club," begins when he was an unemployed movie critic and tried to convince his fifteen-year-old son Jesse to do his homework. When David realized Jesse was disinterested in school, he offered him an unconventional deal: Jesse could drop out, but he must watch three movies a week of his father's choosing. Larry talks with both father and son about what they shared, learned, and how their lives changed through this unusual parenting decision.
