Absolutely incredible. So well made in all respects: the cinematography, the music, how it was organized, the animation, the incredible cooperation you were able to get from all the parties involved. I like that the focus stayed on two things, the rights of children and the channeling of pain toward constructive ends that can help others. The ending really surprised me. You set up the expectation of a happy ending, but the reality is that most of these cases don't end happily, but, at best, with just some vague hope. The ending reflected that.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
