Humanity is not lost
Not just another "oh those poor children in Africa" movie. Compelling portraits of unforgettable individuals (not just headlines and horror). Reaffirms the universality of the human experience - pain, loss, joy, humor (yes, some of it's funny), struggle, triumph, fear, ambition and love. Challenging in ways you can't imagine - yet ultimately rewarding. More than than a "documentary". An homage to beauty in people, places and spirit. Stunning visually and emotionally. A genre by itself. As a half-African and mother of small children, I never thought I could sit through it based on the description. As tough as it was at times, I'm so glad I did. Kudos to the filmakers for following their hearts and respecting their subjects - it shows.
