Kingdom Come

I first watched Broken Kingdom after coming across it on cable. I fell in love with it. Then Kingdom Come caught my eye, again while flick'n through cable. I was interested because I had seen the movie. I was so caught up in this documentary I could not stop watching. Maybe I'm an emotional person but this brought me to tears. It really was eye opening to see what artists have to go through to get their story told/produced. This was stressful for me to watch. I can not imagine what they must have felt on their journey. I would recommend both the film & the documentary for all to watch, in what order I can not say. I suppose after watching the documentary someone might be more interested in seeing the film. I myself am grateful that I saw the film first. I LOVE independent films more now these days than ever before. There is nothing left to see these days but reality t.v. and crap that's shoved down our throats. Please don't stop doing what you do!!! We love you all the more for it.
