Review
One of the most inspiring films I have ever watched. This true life story leaves me wondering, how much one can really do if they are determined to look past their circumstances. Simply Outstanding!
I give this film a firm 5/5
Note to Parents: This film has a rather disturbing scene near the beginning of the film which may not be suitable for younger viewers.
