It is narrated by actor Sam Waterston with actor Len Cariou as the voice of writer Ernest Hemingway. Produced by Richard Zampella.

One of the few--, make that very, very few documentaries which captures the complex man who was my father. Mulholland has given us an Ernest Hemingway whom I recognize. Trust me, this is rarely the case.

-Patrick Hemingway, Son of Author Ernest Hemingway

 

True Gen is s genuine piece of work. So moving and so deeply felt. These two iconic Americans have been dead almost half-a-century and I had tears in my eyes by the end, as if they’d just died. True Gen is a remarkable piece of documentary filmmaking.

-Craig Gilbert, Producer of An American Family on PBS
