| User ReviewLou Dwonderfully made movie about a young african boy who's immediate family and countless acquaintances has been ended by the growing aids epidemic... yet seen as the act of a generational curse and tried to countered by magic, sacrifices, etc... in the end, Truth is nailed down and a last effort is made to persuade the people to listen, accept and do away with their sinful customs. a young orphaned boy with exceptionally high morals, intuition and hope prevails. great movie all around. |
| User ReviewMan JThis movie is so great and heartwarming. It treats the issue of Aids in a very sensitive and reasonable way. |
| User ReviewDenise WVery good South African film about an orphan boy. |
| User ReviewDerek RThis is an amazing, disturbing and heartwarming story. The boy is so adorable. And Africans are so great anyway.:3 |
| User ReviewLourelle Ssimply beautiful! For all those who don't realize what ignorance can do on this earth! |
| User ReviewChristopher SWe know about the disease, we have read and heard over the radio... what the movie ask is what do we do as individuals to help those affected and infected... it's up to me and you to make a difference. |
| User ReviewKenneth LNolatandu did a great job in this film by his age. His acting can convince you that he's really experiencing the plot. One demirt of the film is the director tried to use one line to close Letti's cousin case. Too rush in the ending. |
