Excellent, a Must See
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Very educating on the topic that is understated for so long.Organ donation can have it's hush-hush moments between families but for those in need - it's big. And even bigger is the organ trade all around the world, especially in third world countries. Not always is it done legally!The producers, writers and everyone else involved did an amazing job describing their path, their triumph and their luck of opportunity. Kidney disease is a growing problem and it needs to be more talked about. There needs to be more preventative measures (if possible) to avoid needing dialysis and there needs to be more education regarding the symptoms and the like.I would love to watch it again since I only caught the last hour.
