Absolutely Incredible and Relevatory Film

I cannot believe that Turtles Can Fly is not getting more props on here. I thought the film was exceptional in nearly every way. I have never seen kids so fully developed on-screen before. This is not a Hollywood oh-they're-so-cute gimmick, but real kids with missing arms and legs who are captured with charm, horror and the startling details of their every day lives. At last there is a movie about kids that is made for adults, and in a region and of a topic that will make any sane person question what those mines are still doing there at all. For those who like to be moved and educated, this film is gripping. I just can't get over the depth of the characters involved, and the fact that those mines, as far as I know, remain there to this day.
