Sole Survivor: Directed by Ky Dickens. With Bahia Bakari, Cecelia Cichan, George Lamson Jr., James Polehinke. In the history of aviation, there have been only 14 of them: sole survivors of a commercial aviation disaster. Most have never spoken publicly about the loss, the guilt, the immense pressure of feeling “spared.” Who, after all, could ever truly understand? The answer is only each other. Sole Survivor brings four of them together (George Lamson, Cecilia Cichan, Bahia Bakari and Jim Polehinke) to share their very complex, personal stories for the first time. They revisit the most harrowing moments of their lives in an effort to heal and overcome their most perplexing questions.

“I was worried this film might be u0026quot;crash u0026quot; and if one is expecting that, theyu0026#39;re going to be disappointed by this film. For me, this film was a deep, sensitive sociological experience – understanding and almost FEELING what it would be like to survive something (unscathed) where everyone else around you dies. Itu0026#39;s something so hard to comprehend and itu0026#39;s a film that could have been totally distasteful in the wrong hands – exploitive, intensive, etc. This film is none of those things and you can feel, when watching it, how much the subjects trusted and respected the film crew and vice versa.”
