Watching this film should be mandatory for every man, woman, and child in the world.
I would leave it at that but IMDb has a minimum of 10 lines of text to prove you "mean business" with your review.
This film was utterly astounding in every sense, most importantly in the way it just lets a strange, inexplicable, simple truth emerge on its own. It is not a film that makes you feel better about the world, but rather one that makes you remember, oh yes, all this is real, and it really matters.
Without providing a spoiler, the final scene also underscores why documentaries are made, and the very real, very important things that utterly cannot be faked with all the acting, special effects, and make up in the world. Life is real.
