Rarely would I say this about a documentary. Even rarer about a modest budget film about something/someone I had never heard of before seeing the film.
If anyone pitched this story as a work of fiction, no studio would believe it. It's mythical, but it's also very real and human.
I don't want to tell too much of the story, because you will want to discover it yourself. It's one that could not happen today but because of today we are able to learn of it and marvel at all the twists and turns.
We see kids from an awful place and time learn about hope from a person who becomes a legend without ever knowing it is happening.
There's a man who was everyman with a magical talent. His humility and humanity are even larger.
PLEASE don't do any research other than to see if it's playing where you live. Live the story as you see it on the screen. It will be much better.
