This is the only film that I've wanted to write a brief review. I shall skip over any shortcomings as I am sure there will be plenty of people willing to write about them. I congratulate these four guys for a brilliant piece of work, an excellent project. It is well filmed, high quality work, and something I would recommend to others. I gave this a ten out of ten. Yes its a film project, but much more than that. They have put their money where their mouth is, something that few have done. I really enjoyed the story. I found it thought provoking and well considered. Thanks for making this. Quite possibly the best bit of TV I have seen in years. Well done.

This was a film project that will forever impact and change the lives of the four young men that took the chance to fulfill this project. Reading over the reviews whoever rates this negatively I say to you "uhm, and when was the last time you tried this??" This was an earnest, brave approach, well thought out and done with best of intentions. I believe they have figured out what it takes to live on one dollar a day in one of the poorest countries. The filming was well done (visually gorgeous), you can see the emotion in all of the faces, the families are well represented and I really hope Chico, Rosa , Anthony and the their families continue to do well. This in NOT about "privileged young white boys" or saving "poor foreigners" this is about rolling up your sleeves and seeing the issues where they are. GOOD JOB GUYS and thank you taking the chance to do this.

This movie is absolutely remarkable. It opens the eyes of viewers to look past the place that they live and realize that even on your hardest day, you can still have it better than others. I absolutely loved it the first time I watched it, and the 4 times after that as well. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I may not be able to change the entire world but if I can just change one person's world that is good enough for me and I want to spend the rest of my life doing so. Thank you for the inspiration and a view of true humanity. God Bless everyone involved in the production of this film. Sincerely,A 15 Year Old Viewer

What a wonderfully humbling & memorable documentary! I watched this along with an entire high school campus in our attempt to share with teens what true poverty looks like. This documentary does not try to overdo anything. It's simple, concise, and impactful. It's a piece that gives one a new perspective in how to look at life and the hardships that we all have to endure. If one thinks his/her life is hard, this documentary may very well serve as a starting point to help an individual see that most hardships that many of us perceive truly do pale in comparison to what over 1 billion people in the world have to live with everyday. It's a great documentary to share with people regardless of age, race, gender, and class level. Watch it and tell people about it. Perhaps, together, many more people will become compassionate enough to help others who truly need our help.
