Living in Iowa

Some kids never really get a break. There's noone cheering for them. And one thing leads to another for Chris, with very dire consequences. A real slice of life for many in the "fly over" states. I was moved to tears because this is the story for so many. Beautifully shot, real and gritty with moments of poetry and a landscape that is so familiar. The performances are very high quality and there's a no problem suspending disbelief.
