    NOT TO BE CONFUSED with "race to freedom"
    Hence, in part, why I have only given 4 stars....sadly, we got this film and not the story of 4 guys running away....this one is about an elderly lady trying to get to the place she was born. she lives with her understanding son and his (in my opinion) ghastly wife who seems to be quite greedy on all levels. This film isn't entertainment in my view and I was left disappointed. I wont spoil it for you as to what the lady sees when she gets to where she going, thanks to some kind hearted folk
