Child Abuse

Well, were it not for the fact that the children who "act" in this movie are not actors and what they "do" in the movie is pretty much the same things they do in their everyday lives I would give this film a 10/10. I am not so sure whether using people to "act" in a movie and profit from their everyday tragedies is something to be praised or not. For that reason I have not rated this film yet and probably never will.

It certainly is a tragedy that not even with the film receiving international recognition, it could help the kids get out of their misery.

The movie seemed almost too well "acted" at times. Most of the kids are dead now. There are many vids on utube about it.

Especially tragic is the story of one of the actors who got the opportunity to study in spain but was killed one week before the trip.
