Audience Member This is the story of Mother Aew who founded and runs a school she calls the childrens village deep in the remote jungle of Thailand, kind of a halfway home and a school for orphaned children or those from with troubled upbringings. This film is a celebration of her tireless work over 35 years to care for the children coming through her school leading up to Mother's day. We explore the childrens world and environment of the school and Mother herself her philosophies and approach to running this democratic school. This is an uplifting story about the triumph of the human spirit and how kindness and caring can influence many generations.

It's such a great, heart-warming story about what an impact Mother Aew makes on these children's lives. Very touching.

I love everything about these kids and the "Mother" that runs it. Two thumbs up for me. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a beautiful inspiring film about the heart of a Aew, known as "Mother" to orphaned children in the heart of the Jungle of Thailand. Mother has spent years cultivating a safe home, school, and place for children to thrive in. Creating a Democratic school (based on SummitHill learning philosophy) where they can truly thrive and be seen. What surprised me about this film was the moment to moment filmmaking, beautifully shot and felt that captures the world of these children and even though they are orphans, some having been abused and abandoned they seem truly happy under this deeply nurturing and love at Summithill. My eyes filled with tears more than once when we follow two twin boys who finally get to meet their birth parents who are incapable of caring for them. I also was full with so much awe and hope at when we see the inherent good in children we can trust them to flourish with guidance, love, and respect. There are so many takeaways from this beautiful film, it should be required watching for all. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review william w This a solid documentary that succeeds without profiling a famous athlete or celebrity. If you watch this you will be better educated and have your heart warmed along the way give it a watch. Wonderfully set in Thailand, the 'cast' are extraordinary in their efforts and accomplishments.
