I know from friends and colleagues assigned to stop sex trafficking of children that this is an international problem and shame, yet this movie addresses the horrors of enslavement. This movie is informative and motivating. It exposes the lowest common denominator of human beings who prey on the helpless causing misery for the children and their families. And it exposes the lack of values and sick-mindedness of people who subscribe to the practice of human trafficking. This movie does what the mass media fails to do for fear of upsetting those who benefit from human trafficking. Well scripted, acted, filmed. Gripping. A wake up call.

I saw this movie last week and I'm still thinking about it. The message is powerful about a nun who stood up to the forces of institutions in the late 1900's Italy and America in her driving vision to raise the poor to a level of self-respect and independence. The scripting was raw and realistic. The acting was second to none. The cinematography was dynamic. All these elements came together perfectly pulling the audience into the time, place, and environment that tested the strength of character of her superiors and protagonists. One just didn't know how this vision was going to manifest. Inspiring, absolutely. Motivating certainly. Entertaining, without question. I'd like to see more movies like this.

Relevant theme. Superbly scripted. Creatively filmed. Artfully acted. This movie drew me into the story with all its surprising twists. Traditional characters living a traditional life until tragedy and joy gripped them at the same time. A story of separation and joining bringing two families together and a love affair out of this world. Covers penetrating topics that force difficult decisions in unexpected ways and with unexpected results. Basically, hold tight to life with all it surprising twists that mirror who you really are and become pivotal detours that may or may not offer unexpected changes in relationships.
