I accidentally started watching this at 2 am. I couldn't stop. I am the same age as a lot of those kids and this moved me. I now need to tell everyone about it. You will cry. You will smile. But above all else this is a hard lesson learned and a story that needs to be told and told and told and told. You want to watch this.
