My first surprise is how this film has not been made sooner, certainly given the nature and story, it is something Hollywood would normally jump on, but that's an aside.
I cannot write this and tell you it was outstanding acting performances, there were some cringe worthy scenes when it was a little over dramatised. I also cannot tell you it will win awards, simply because this type of movie never does. What I can tell you is you will find a heartening reason to wake up tomorrow, feeling a little blessed, because good people, which we all can be, live in the world and pro-actively help others. If that isn't something you want to read, then I don't really know what is!
I am a little unsure how much of the story is just drama and which is truth, but I don't really care, the ultimate narrative about do good unto others still rings true and gives a little hope in an uncertain world. Nobody writes about good things anymore, in the press or on TV, so it is nice to take a little time out and watch a movie like this, based on true events, to remember that we don't have to be superhuman to do good and by all being a little kinder, we can make a difference, even if we don't always know it. Sometimes it feels people do good, because they want a return on that 'investment', but it's actually much nicer just to do good.
If you have some time free, you could do worse than watch this film, though I would urge caution and have a hanky to hand, it does contain emotive scenes!
