   Engaging, creative film. Strong acting. Excellent production value. Inspiring message
   -Dr. James Kauffman

   There are some great moments here, specially the outdoor scenes. Get’s a bit disjointed though and the acting toward the end could be better. Too long – some serious editing would have helped the film greatly.
