Teacher, The Most Difficult Job In The World
Top notch acting
Top notch acting by pretty much everyone, from the main character (the radical teacher) to the trash picker to the small child who takes care of her sisters/brothers.
Though such inspiring and motivating characters and stories are in many other parts of the world, the story capture and acting make it poignant. Tears kept coming down uncontrollably as I watched the movie.
The director must have shot the movie at a real garbage dump. It was needed to convey the impact.
One important message for many families -- don't beget many children if you cannot afford to raise them. It is totally unfair on the older children like that little girl.
Wonder how that smart girl became so knowledgeable? Pure self-study? Seems handed down from earlier birth!
