Dormer, Female student and others in “Unfinished Business”

[Nicole Dormer's new film tribute to Thomas Smith, An American Hero, is shown before GNR officials]

[narration] But it is among Thomas' own generation, among his fellow classmates, that he is most honored.

FSFemale student

[in interview] I loved Thomas. I did. [sniffles] You know, ever since I met him in the second grade, he was always talking about the future. His plans. Everything that he dreamed about doing to make the Reich an even better place.

Thomas spoke about the future. Did he ever talk about his father?

SStudent

All the time. Thomas idolized him.

[voiceover] Oberstgruppenfuehrer Smith is one of the American Reich's most decorated soldiers. [footage of Volkshalle rally] And just last fall, Smith was honored by Reichsfuehrer Himmler for saving the Reich from the traitor Heusmann. At this time of Smith's greatest triumph, his son Thomas was walking to his death. [cut to Thomas' tribute at his school] At the ceremony at Thomas Smith's high school, I witnessed an astonishing moment.

[in tribute speech] A boy with a dream in his heart.

[describing footage] Thomas' younger sister, Amy, instinctively stood to salute her brother. Child after child followed suit. And I wondered, what kind of man inspired such devotion and passion in his children? [cut to Smith] That man, John Smith. He bears a responsibility of being father to children and father to the entire nation. It's that immense and that simple.
