I spend most of movie watching the backgrounds in the scenes to see what was familiar.  What to see the movie for free to celebrate it's 40th anniversary?

I am half Filipino and half Irish, quite the combination, I know.  When I was younger, I heard my mom and my aunt on my dad's side talk about my relatives in the Philippines and Ireland, but at that young age, I didn't have the desire to seek them out.  Both my mom and aunt have passed, and I thought searching for past members of my family would be impossible, until I saw the Family History Workshop.  Here's your invite!
