Great, Touching Film

This is not a Hollywood sugary film with the concocted great ending where everyone lives happily ever after. It is more realistic & about a world where most people die without having lived their dreams. You must watch the video clip at the end. It's a very sad story, but done very well. The acting was great, the directing, & writing. I like that the director didn't have these explicit sex & violence scenes like they do in Hollywood because it's a story about people. I will purchase the film for my media library. I feel that everyone should see films like this to help them appreciate what they have, opportunities, etc. Perhaps it will move them to help the people who are born into these conditions. A lot of children do not have the option of attending free basic elementary & middle school education like we do here in the U.S. A lot of them do not have access to jobs.
