bevdawnhill So many courageous people like Tom go unnoticed. Until this film I had not heard of Tom. He should have been recognised as an outstanding person. It takes courage to stand up to the intimidating threats of bully's, hypocrites. Worse still is Bureaucracy that is chin-deep in red tape and useless unnecessary procedures and regulations made up by people who do not have a clue about the people they are supposed to be protecting and refuse to budge when those same rules cause worse situations and danger. YET! He still carried on his amazing work, both he and Jennifer sacrificed and gave up so much of their own lives. As someone says here already "in England he would have been made a 'Sir' ". This film was so very emotional that I cried. Tom truly was an astonishing person to have achieved all he did in his very short life. I feel for Jen and her loss, the first boys too must have been devastated. They must be so grateful for the better start in life he gave them. It would be very interesting to know what lives they have led after they left his care. I would have been very humbled to have met him and Jen, I would have felt honoured.

jaychris2010 What an eye opening film makes you wonder why . There are not a lot more people like tom in this world .Brilliant true story good on you tom.Shows you that there are people out there that do care for our young and vulnerable. But for such a young man two take so much responsibility at such a young age without thought for his self and just for others puts us all two shame .The performance by both main characters was tear jerking.May be we can all learn something from this film. I have that it is for us all two help out in this world no matter how big or how small it all helps in the end .So my message two a lot of people is two watch this truly amazing film you wont regret it trust me .

freeborn661802 This lovely movie isn't as well known as it would deserve.I saw it a long time ago and the story of Tom touched my heart so deep as I liked the movie too.In times like todays'ones Tom is a so positive example of what respect and brotherhood could do to human race.I believe that Tom's project for young people's safe is still alive not only in Marshall but it would have to be a spark to a fire that still keeps on burning FOREVER! Hope to see this movie on DVD soon....i believe that Michelle Pfeiffer and the male actor i don't remember the name,They still keep good thoughts of their experience acting this sweet movie.Michelle was very young and so sweet....
