  Wow -- nice job on the film! (I followed a link from boingboing.) My mother is a hoarder, and I've only recently become aware that the mountains of stuff that surround her are, in fact, evidence of an illness and not "just her." It's still shocking to see other houses that look like what I grew up with -- the book guy was especially familiar; unfortunately, so was the lady who kept all the empty bottles. My mother has always said she was "saving" things -- from the landfill, so they could be used later, what have you -- but once in her possession, the stuff just decays until it's unusable, because she has too much to take care of any of it. Thank you so much for allowing the humanity of your subjects to come across, and for spreading awareness without judgement. (And thanks for the links -- I sent 'em to my sister, since we both fight the urge to hoard on a daily basis.) Good work!
