Alex isn't a product of MV, he only worked for Hans from time to time and forged his own career separate of that place. Seems the reviewer saw one connection to Hans and jumped to the conclusion that he was another Powell or Gregson-Williams.

> Hard to believe Alex Wurman comes from an MV background. . . there are

> year and as a film score fits its documentary wonderfully. Scores to films

> especially with a film as "personal" and intimate as March of

> A fantastic, beautiful, and altogether touching score.

> **** / *****

> Sayonara!
