This was my favorite movie of the SWSX Film Festival in Austin. A great story, and beautifully done. Engaging, uplifting, and emotionally draining. This is about a group of Baltimore inner-city, at-risk, African-American boys selected to be sent to a private school in Kenya, and the way they changed in a year. The boys and their families who were selected to be featured in the documentary were captivating. One of the boy's father was in jail and it showed a visit by the boy to his father before he left for Africa and their interaction. The boys were originally supposed to stay for two years but this was cut short by a sad fate of the school. I was surprised at how much I was drawn into the story and the outcome of the experiment. And it is beautifully filmed. I highly recommend this movie.
