THE LOST LEONARDO is like a great detective story, looking at how a painting that may or may not have been an original da Vinci went from obscurity to fetching $450 million at auction. I was utterly riveted. Here's my review from AFI DOCS: aisleseat.com/lost-leonardo.… #AFIDOCS

Julia Reichert was an Oscar-winning filmmaker, a feminist, a fighter and a much-admired activist. We are truly sad to hear about the passing of the “godmother of American independent documentaries.” 🖤 #juliareichert
