Very, very, very inspirational movie with great actors, great writing and awesome story!
17 May 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Loved the story line. I love true to life stories. They never get old. I loved that it was touching, funny, dramatic, inspirational. Just a lot like life.

It made me realize that the State of Arizona suppresses and punishes the same people that gave the state glory and honor.

The state should realize that instead of punishing the kids they should be helping and supporting them.

Their population is aging (it is a retirement state) and the next generation of workers and taxpayers would be the undocumented, so they should start training their workforce now. The state already started to do this by teaching these kids since they were in elementary or high school. Why stop now?
