Review of The First Grader (2010) by Milt J — 15 May 2011
Just home from a most refreshing presentation of the determination of one young woman to help an 80+ year old Kenyan who wanted to learn how to read. Thankfully, as a story of a true human experience, it does not have the glizt and glitter of Hollywood.
Director Justin Chadwick does not hide the reality of one man's struggle throughout his entire life to simply achieve what so many take for granted--your education. The movie comes to Bethesda Landmark this week.
It is worth every minute and dollar. Please, don't be the super critic because it is so real, so human. You will love the students throughout the entire movie. But there is the pain of the British torture of the Kenyan in the war for independence.
There is the truly human reaction to someone who is treated differently.
