Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
