Gregory R Nov 14 Sorry wrong show, could not delete review so just edited See more 01/09/2010 Wonderful insights only marred by seizure-inducing editing at times. If I could get my kids to sit through it and truly reflect on its content, that would be fantastic. See more 05/06/2008 i liked it very much, it's a good movie! See more 04/25/2008 I would give this 10 stars if I could. I am not one for documentaries, but this one blew me away. It was poignant, human, inspiring. Absolutely fantastic.
