"A film that will stand the test of time"

"Somebody will be able to watch the documentary SISU: Family, Love and Perseverance from Finland to America 100 years from now - and get a great snapshot of Finnish American culture in the 1960s, 70s, 80s all the way up to our current time. To me that shows a great film."

"Wonderful"

"It was a little hard to watch because the emotions were so strong, but in the end I thought SISU: Family, Love and Perseverance from Finland to America was wonderful. You have to have sisu and go on. Sisu and faith go hand in hand."

- Kathy | Michigan

"It really struck a chord with me"

"SISU: Family, Love and Perseverance reminded me of my own family and my uncle who was the king of our family. It really struck a chord with me and inspired me. Thank you"

"Thank you for sharing your beautiful film"

Hi Marko,

I watched the screening of Sisu yesterday at Finn Fest. I just wanted to say that you did a great job telling your family's story.

I wasn't very close to my extended family growing up. I only saw my grandparents, cousins, etc, a couple times a year. Your film reminded me of the importance of a strong family structure and support system.

I am hoping I can provide a better support system for my son than what was offered to me.

Thank you again for sharing your beautiful film.
