    Small town meets big world....
    The essence of this film works... Life can corrupt. However let the small and real world around you sing the songs of life. Trust your heart not your eyes, what you know provides enough and more!!! As the technology gets better the spirit gets smaller. We all know someone a little "different"...but... are they better or worse than we are? The strength of a single thought is much more powerful than a dream from a dreamer. In the end was your way better? This film paints lines where there are none. This film also makes borders vanish where many should be. THE ESSENCE OF IRWIN is....simple...LIVE LIFE IN YOUR MOMENT...and let life flow!!!
