Inspiring true story that at its essence is about courage and community
16 February 2020 | by skpn123 – See all my reviews

What a beautiful film, with a story that must be told and with lovely photography and a very moving score - it was made for $10M and the screenplay was written by a teenager that hated to read - and it is fab - please see it and encourage your friends to watch as well and give it the rating it deserves on IMDB
