This movie ultimately validates the worth of finding meaning in your own story. The process of combing through artifacts and interviewing people from your past can build a shared meaning of those times that can be much different and possibly more healing than the story you left the friendship with. At first I was struck by the egotism of such a project but as I watched it seemed an act of courage to explore the past. As one character says towards the end ‘why not be the hero of your own story?’
