      No Holywood Hype
      No Hollywood hype. What you see is what happened. The story is unvarnished and brutal in its simplicity. Ordinary people caught in a life or death struggle in a hostile environment, and digging deep to help each other survive. I used to show this movie to my 8th Grade students and you could hear a pin drop.
