I cried each time I viewed it. Puts a human face on an important issue. It does not look like a student film , it is very professionally done. The actress who played the mother was excellent. It has a real New York feel in both the look and the setting. The fact that the police officer who is portrayed in the movie has just been released from prison and is back on the street without ever really acknowledgers the criminal nature of his behavior makes the movie very timely.You can not see this film without feeling a wish to act; to somehow change things so that these events never happen again. But most of all you feel moved when you see the film.
