Review of Blood Brother (2013) by Pauline B — 31 Oct 2013

I saw Blood Brother last night at a special screening that my friends hosted. I was both excited for and dreading the film because I knew some of the images would be hard to see. Right away the movie pulled me in as the cameras followed Rocky around the Home where kids infected with HIV were living in India.

The children were so beautiful. They all wanted attention, and Rocky did his best to give it to them. Living in India is no cake walk. No one in the village had running water to their homes. The kids took a handful of pills everyday to keep them alive.

So many seemed full of joy and life, but could take a turn for the worse in moments. Rocky and the women at the orphanage did their best to care for them. I was truly inspired by how much this American boy was willing to sacrifice for these kids that weren't his own.

This documentary was heart wrenching, and stirred in me a desire to do more with my life; something meaningful. I highly recommend this movie for all people. But be warned -- it has the potential to leave you wrecked.

It may even cause you to question your whole way of living. So watch this movie if you want to be encouraged to be a better person.
