6 Weeks to Mother's Day (2017)
Beautiful
If you ever wanted to know what a Boddhisatva looks like, watch this film. A remarkable woman named Mother Aew founded a school and home for orphaned, abandoned, and abused children in the jungles of Thailand, decades ago. This film highlights her work, and the resulting impact of such an enormous undertaking on the lives of the great many children who might have otherwise been lost. Instead of disappearing into desperation or anonymity, the film illustrates how the kindness and dedication of a very few can transform a child's life.
The story is masterfully told by Blunte, who manages to bridge language and cultural barriers with a visual storytelling that captures its essence in a way that is easily accessible to anyone.
Highly recommended to schools, humanitarian organizations, and to individual adults and children alike who are interested in and called by a passion to nurture the innate human spirit in all of us. Well done.
