"I think I screamed and cried through the whole first viewing," Kate confessed. "It’s quite a cathartic experience, I think, especially for our family." Kate's even begun watching some of her brother's films again. "I now have 13-year-old girls who are wanting to see the films. So, through them I’m finding that it’s become a little easier for me to see the joy that it gives them."
