The movie takes a very important issue and the director makes a Sundance Film Festival Movie Documentary.... it falls way short Limited show times mean jam packed theater goers crammed into tiny seats to view a foreign language documentary. 12.50 tickets for a movie you spend all your time reading what the people who are speaking .... you barley get to see what is being portrayed. Give me a translator or captioning but please not both Pastor Lee is doing wonderful work with the unwanted children but please this film team stinks. it looks more like a 60 Minutes piece than trying to bring awareness to the issue of women abandoning their children for cultural reasons.Why the exorbitant ticket price? does any of it go to Pastor Lee? this movie falls way short as a documentary or as a movie at all.... the issue of abandoning children is important but this didn't evoke an emotional response I thought it would....

Brian Ivie did an excellent job telling the story of Pastor Lee's work and presenting facts about the issue of abandoned babies in South Korea. Some people complain that this is "not a movie," and they are right. This is a documentary because the stories involve real people who are still living today.His style of directing is quirky, youthful, and upbeat. This contrasted the seriousness and gloominess of the topic being discussed, yet highlighted the hopefulness of these lives being saved.This film/documentary raised awareness between the conservative culture in South Korea with unwed/teenage mothers and the taboo of babies born with disabilities. It really gripped our hearts and pulled the emotions out of us. There was not a dry eye in the house during this movie (sold out show). Well done.

I was so inspired by this documentary!!! This movie is a documentary for the whole family,suitable for young children. There is musical performance in the beginning. The documentary is actually 1 hr and 19 minutes. There is a panel discussion in the end. We need more movies like this that honors hard work and sacrifice. Pastor Lee and his wife models for us what it means to work hard for those who are forgotten, who may never repay you. What a beautiful picture of unconditional love throughout the film. What a powerful message for our generation. Make sure you bring tissues because I wanted to cry in the first 15 minutes. It definitely made my heart melt seeing all the children. It will challenge your view of what is really important in life. It reminds me that you are never to old to make an impact. This movie might be very Christian, but it is for anyone wants to make a difference.

I caught this the other day at AMC in Ontario Mills, I was interested because there was a girl in line buying pre-sale tickets and was surprised to see a full house when I walked in to see it.The film does a fantastic job bringing an important social issue to light, abandoned babies. They cover the social work done by a doctor in Korea, whose vocation was discovered when he himself had a disfigured child born. Rather than killing or abandoning the child which is what I probably would have done, he fostered it with love, and realized that it was his calling. Before I really didn't feel connected to mentally disabled or handicapped people, I always saw them at a sort of sub-human level due to their lack of intellect or offensive disfigurements. But after this journey it actually made me tear up a little bit during a few scenes, and made me very thankful that there are people and programs out there which support the forgotten. I grew up Catholic but have a non-practicing sort of believer for a while - this movie actually renewed my faith a little bit.That is until the interview at the end. I suspect they added it because without it the movie seemed like it was only around 1 hour or 1 hour 10 minutes long. It was very forced and ruined everything for me - it turned the movie into a commercial for their abandoned baby cause, repeatingly asking for donations, and the director sharing his Christian conversion story was disgusting because it was self righteous and sounded fake. What made me really hate it is that it was a terrible choice by the production team. They easily could have showed snippets of a one on one interview with the director throughout the movie, sharing his story from atheism to Christianity, without making it too denominational. I really got a "Born again Christian" fundamentalist vibe from the interview group, and as a gay person, I was really turned off. Even if they had to make the interview fake, it's a movie, so they can do whatever they want to make the message more powerful. Also since the movie obviously wanted a Christian message, they really could have led the story into an expose piece on abortion, since they got us all to care about these babies. If the direction team pulls the post interview or edits it feel free to IMDb message me I'll give it a 10 and change my review.I still liked the movie, if you want to improve your experience leave the theater when it says "THE END", don't watch the interview at the end.
