Variety

Alex Rotaru's very busy docu focuses more on the kids' stories than on their work; considering how sensational some of them are, it's probably a strategic advantage.

Director Alex Rotaru could have focused more; three or four really compelling stories are scattered among a handful of others.

Rated: 2/4

It's not just showing us a charming or unusual event we've never heard of, it's promoting something fundamental.
