    Well done

    It is a simple yet complet movie that addresses a few issues such as trafficking, orphanhood, culture, racism, immigration and the roles that we all play in this world. It did not sugar coat or romanticize anything. Racism is what it is and corruption is corruption. All wrapped up in one is the DR and this movie is a must see. There is no action but a great story to watch. The ending was great It gave me the sense of hope in what seemed a hopeless world. Ver well executed and great casting. The kids did a great job at showing the sad reality of DR. It also showed the reality of us all being one wherever we go.
