Michael Brody's 25 Million Dollar Giveaway | Keith Maitland | Tiny Talks Austin

Recorded on March 26th, 2024 at Austin School of Film in Austin, TX.
Filmmaker Keith Maitland shares the tale of Michael Brody Jr., a 21-year-old millionaire who, in 1970, vowed to give away his $25 million fortune for world peace. His announcement sparked a flood of letters from people all over the country. Decades later, Maitland's team discovered thousands of these unopened letters in a storage unit. The letters, a snapshot of human desire and need, inspired Maitland to create the documentary "Dear Mr. Brody." The film focuses on the stories behind the letters and the collective human experience we all share in overcoming adversity.
