An incredible true journey. Important social themes are presented in the film that are thought provoking at times while not being heavy handed (whoa, that requires finesses). In an era of comic-book themed, big budget films (which, I enjoy) this film stands out as a example of how Cinema can make one think, enjoy the experience all the while nibbling on popcorn. If there ever was a film that deserved an Oscar for Best Screenplay (among other accolades) this film is it. Take the whole family.
