Ratings and reviews

Awesome movie, our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not out darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world....

A great movie. It would be good if it wasn't based on a true story but it's better knowing that it is.

Such a deep story, really enjoyed it.
