a cheezy I thought the movie would haveian ovies predictable plot like other Christht tom rs I’ve seen. Instead, I was broug t mtea ovies when I saw it. It is one of the bes otion al I have ever seen. It was also em a few for me because I was suicidal fora group months of my life. Praise God forme out of of supportive people who broughtmovie that stage in my life. This needs to be shown to kids, Christian or not, everywhere. -Hanna

This movie has brought togeth er youth leaders in a way that ha s never happened in this town!

Last night we had a huge yout h rally for the movie . We had ov er 700 students at it. Hundreds of decisions for Jesus and an amazing time.

I thought about killing myself. I cut. … My life is just messed up. This movie helped me a lot in realizing that my life is worth living and that there are many people who care about me. And committing suicide would just be the easy way out. So thank you all who made this movie ‘cause it literally saved my life. -Debra “..Manages to be appealing, poignant and inspiring in ways that are gentle and quite real.” — Los Angeles Times
