Inspiration for proper education of 'the undesired lot', 21 October 2007
10/10
Author: Januskopf_Olivaro from Germany

This movie is a documentary and as such does not offer a lot of action - but it surely builds up much tension and energy! It shows how for more than 200 youngsters with bad education, little confidence in themselves and all in all messed-up lives it all could turn around significantly.

Through a common goal and the desire to achieve, maybe for the first time in their lives, they go through the hardship of learning discipline, respect, self confidence, trust and acquire the believe that they have more power over their way of life than they would have ever imagined before. It shows them that learning and achieving something of your own by working hard for it is a very desirable and worthwhile thing.

The beauty of the movie is that this wonder is not confined to those starring in the movie and that the wonder could be recreated with others in the same situation. It probably would apply for everyone but if there were more projects which challenged those kids in the right manner to work harder than before, to enjoy more truly than before and to create value for themselves and others, those youths could be so much more - for themselves and in a society. Because of this, I give it a 10 out of 10, because I think it is one of those movies which really could make a difference if they were only watched by enough people and learned from.
