huguespt It is very hard to put into words the emotions that this Documentary brings up within oneself. It is a journey of a man who finds more to his life in a small Indian (India) community of people living with HIV/AIDS.I give this film a 10 out of 10 and that is a first for me because this film took me on their journey in a way I have never experienced before. It is not a high budget epic but I defy anyone not to be captivated, moved and taken on the same journey by it.My congratulations to Rocky Ana for his honesty and genuine/loving soul and for his friend Steven Ana for being so truthful about his feelings which I know a lot of other people would feel like him.And thank you for making this film so I have had the privilege to watch it. Maybe we will get an update on Rocky Ana and Steven Ana and the lives they touch in India.
josianel84 This has to be my favorite non-fiction film this year. The first scene is so overwhelming. I sat on the edge of my seat the whole time... It made me cry, and laugh. Exceptional, simple, raw beauty is in this film. Rocky's unconditional love for the kids, acceptance, thoughts on disease and death and personal introspection really moved me. The scene with Suriya, where he is hospitalized troubled me so. And I am a nurse, so I've seen a lot, but this little boy...omygosh..AIDS is hell on earth...The pain he has been through is unbelievable. His ultimate choice at the end really made the movie unforgettable. wow, kudos Rocky you really are a hero
Sherri L. VandenAkker This film moved me deeply. It shows the difficulty, thanklessness, pain, and also ease, gratitude, and joy humanitarian's work. You fall in love with the children, and admire the hero, even though he is presented in altogether human terms. Well-filmed, beautifully edited, genuine and full of heart -- this film will endure. Although the children in the film are living with a fatal disease, and some die during filming, the film leaves you with hope.This film will stay with you, and inspire you to make a difference, maybe to take a risk, and to re-examine your priorities--without a moment of preaching.
wilson trivino They say friends are the family they choose and Rocky Braat went all the way to a little village in India to find his "family". His heart and soul came alive as he saw how he could make a difference in a little orphanage that helped children and their mothers with HIV. This movie follows this remarkable tale of self discovery as filmmaker Steve Hoover chronicles the epiphany his best friend and "blood brother" has as he transitions from the big city of Pittsburg to the annals of India. A very moving movie that shows you that within suffering, there are glimmers of happiness and hope. I saw this film as part of the Atlanta Film Festival and was deeply move by the spiritual message of discovering one's path and being true to yourself.
