Acerca de esta película

Rocky Braat, a young man from a fractured family and a troubled past, went traveling through India without a plan. Then he met a group of HIV positive children living in an orphanage -- a meeting that changed everything for him. Rocky left his life, friends, and career in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to live with the kids. Steve Hoover, his best friend and filmmaker, was unsettled and intrigued by this drastic action. In an effort to find out what compelled Rocky to give up every source of stability in his life, Hoover decided to trace Rocky's story, following him to India. He witnessed Rocky and the kids endure disease, abject poverty, and death. But, strangest of all, in the midst of these troubles, he also saw their deep joy. And he came to understand why Rocky had given up everything he had to experience it. Blood Brother is a story of friendship. It's a story of a life, stripped down to its essence. Most of all, it is a story about love, enduring in the face of death.

"Blood Brothers" successfully reveals the common ground of two worlds so far apart. Rocky Braat represents one world and the children represent another yet they meet on level ground. The joys and challenges of each world are exposed and humanity emerges that brings these two worlds together. At the end of the documentary I discover a mysterious familiarity with my own world...that place where we all exist together.

Giving one's love truly, unconditionally . The world needs more people like Rocky!

he followed his heart and found love, joy, and passion of life. Do not delay to to the same. GO!........NOW!
