The way to survive and surpass all
3 December 2018 | by chefraaj – See all my reviews

Here's the American dream, grounded and honest. See how a pure human effort to bring the meaning of life to all humanity is attacked by evil. This is going to go on only because YOU watch and again. Contemplate, thru the effort, struggles, sanctioned murders. This is a group of people that love, there for no need to forgive. They understand they are humans and keep on going.
