It's not a high dollar budget film but the message is fantastic. If it doesn't tug on your heart strings, then you have no heart. I had been waiting for years since I first found out about the production and just happened to notice it on the top shelf of a local store behind the register. I grabbed it and brought it home to watch with the family that night. Some parts may be difficult for a small child to understand, but my kids 9+ all loved it - both girls and boys. A+++ for the story and the actors.
