This documentary brought me to tears. He is a brilliant, beautiful dancer with so much soul and passion. I loved that the longing, the thing that was missing most, that he couldn't seem to fill, was the absence of his family. It was heartbreaking that they all split to give him a better opportunity than they had, but that strategic departure, although good intentioned, left him feeling empty and alone. The ending was absolutely beautiful, and it was such a joy to see him grow into his own skin. I am still crying thinking about it.
