5 stars (Exceptional) Inspirational doco. If you only see one film this year this should be it. Remarkable story of how music & creative drive changed the lives of some of the poorest children in the world and gave them memories that money couldn't buy. Marvellous! ~Sandy
4 stars (Very Good) Fabio Chavez your blood is worth bottling. It is good to watch a documentary about decent people doing decent things. ~Tubbs
