| User ReviewBrody MWho knew a movie about a man learning to read & write could be so interesting?! |
| User ReviewRay JA well told "true story" which make it even more enjoyable to watch. Johnny Cash puts in a great performance. Very educational as well. |
| User ReviewJo LA lot better than what I expected I must say ... and the first song 'Moving Up' is great! Apparently not an any albums though ... bummer but I did find on 'You Tube' at least. |
