I Confess - A Bar Mitzvah on a Mitzvah Tank

From the uploader: "I Confess - A documentary about Chris Hahn, a film maker investigating Bar Mitzvahs".

I don't fully understand what's going on over here. To me it seems that first this guy was found to be Jewish and was invited to put on Tefilin etc., and only after that occurrence did he decide to make a story out of it. As you can clearly see the first scene of him standing by Ground-Zero, actually occurred after he met the Rabbi.

At any rate this is a real interesting video. The actual Mivtzas Tefilin is beautiful, the Rabbis talking in Yiddish in front of him is quite hilarious. And the Yechi Part is a bit disappointing to say the least. I don't know why he had to stick that in! But I'll try to overlook that, since that does not take away from the beauty and good work which is portrayed in this video.
