They lay the bigotry on way too thick in this movie.


Are we supposed to be shocked at man's inhumanity to man here? Or perhaps shamed into being nice to any xeroderma pigmentosum cases that we may meet? If so, maybe real-life examples would be more effective as propaganda.

(Last I heard, the classmates of a middle-school girl from upstate New York who has XP, Katie something, were being pretty nice about her condition. Good.)

Bigotry can never be too thick as long as it still exsists. As we know, even in 2013, bigotry is very much alive and well. People fear what they do not understand, or what they find to be different!
What I don't understand is this family moved several times trying to find a home where they were welcomed and wanted. Alaska has several months of dark. Why did the family not even entertain the thought of an Alaskan move?

Sadly people fear things they don’t understand. Ignorance can make people do and stay crazy things.
