Sometimes melodramatic, but surprisingly mature, 25 September 2003
Author: riffraff67 from San Francisco, CA

It's a surprisingly mature film that tells of a teacher's hand in changing lives and rising against adversity, even in the face of certain failure. As such and based on the basic plot of the film, it occasionally succumbs to the pitfalls of cinematic melodrama, sometimes deliberately prying tears from its audience (which worked -- dammit.), but it's a minor complaint in the face of the overall message that the movie delivers.

It relates the all-too-true tale of how many children in rural areas of the Philippines are kept from attending school due to poverty and their family's dependence on their being able to put food on the table. It's a slap in the face of many societies, including the more capable families in Metro Manila, who think that they have it bad, when in fact they're in a better position than most.

The movie manages to cover all the instances of the children's plight, and somehow it seems impossible that all this could happen to one class, in one school. But you know, somehow, that it happens nevertheless.

It's reality on film, albeit embellished, but completely true. Highly recommended.
