The Establishing Shot

Howard gets compelling firsthand testimony from multiple people involved with the League, and as they tell their stories, the joy they’ve spread causes them to tear up. Don’t be surprised if you do too. It’s very moving.

Rated: 3.5/4

Morbidly Beautiful

The format is familiar, but this achingly beautiful, heartwarming, and inspiring documentary feels anything but basic. If it doesn’t make you want to do something meaningful and positive in this world, nothing will.

Grab your tissues, but not because you will shed tears of sadness. You will drop a tear or two because your heart will be full of joy and happiness after watching this Paul Howard film. A Pebble In The Pond has restored my faith in the goodness of human beings. If only the whole world could follow this example! So uplifting and encouraging. Thanks for sharing the goodness with us Paul.

Excellent! This is a documentary that will tug at your heartstrings by showing you how a community of people make a difference in the lives of children who don’t have the basics to excel in school and give them a leg up by this organization providing them with the same advantages as their classmates. Not a dry eye in the theater.
