What a beautiful movie. One of those that make you feel. The story, how the script was built, is fascinating. The kids were fantastic. I have been donating a small amount of money to the UNHCR for seven years now and a friend of mine is moving to Turkey next month to serve God working among the refugees. Give, donate, support.

Still happening in greater number everywhere except humans who thought enough is enough, let's stay and face More
