This is what I love to see at film club! My favourite movies are emotional ones and this movie made me think about life differently, stuff has happened to this world over skin colour, it's horrible. I cried so much! ( I may have a wet spot for films like this!) At first the kids where rude and horrible but one day a teacher walked in and made them feel loved and well cared for. But when they got home lighting struck and it was back to being a kid who was neglected. Some where in gangs. And most of there parents were killed, they felt like they had to get people back for what they did to their parents and they just suddenly stopped and thought " I shouldn't be doing this" the teacher had the best ideas and the journal was amazing. They could express their feelings and no one could find out. The Anne Frank was the bit that got me when the guy stood up and said " I've never seen a hero.. you are my hero" that bit just made me stop and think about life.... Everyone should stop and think how good life is and they shouldn't end it. This movie had me on the end of my chair so I gave it a 5 star this is the best movie I've seen in a long time. I'd recommend this film to friends.
