With minimal hysteria, the film illuminates both the emotional deprivation ghetto life can perpetuate and the legit forces of good out to ease that pain.

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

First-time filmmaker Jeffrey M. Togman's documentary examines a complex issue -- the apparent intractability of poverty -- through the revealingly narrow perspective of one woman's efforts to improve her family's lot through homeownership.

Rated: 3/4

Jeffrey Togman earns high marks here for his directorial debut, a socially-significant documentary which discusses an array of taboos concerning color, class and the ever-elusive American Dream.

Rated: 4/4

TheMovieReport.com

The layers unravel to reveal deeper, genuine, and believable heart--which for all the violence, anger, and darkness depicted is Hodges' boldest, bravest accomplishment of all.

Rated: 3/4

Very well produced gritty film that highlights the life of a street kid forced into an adult life by his mothers addiction Graphic language, sexual tones. Not for childen, yet I think it would make a great film if the language and the sexua innuendos were not there. This movie is really a film on faith in God but it will turn a Christians earsand eyes away if the language can't be ignored. If this film would have been Rated PG it would have been 12Stars (There arent that many :) I loved it, he language was bad though for me. I almost changed my mid about watching but I am glad I didnt!! A Mudt see. It is in RED BOX

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
