the journey of hope ( 1990 ) be about a trek that many nomadic and poor turk make so they could live the good life in switzerland . these people be so desperate to live like westerner that they will give up their life and live in an attempt to reach the promised land . so many of them be swindle by greedy crook who make their living off of charge huge fee for desperate people who be in a no win situation . one family brave the cold and the treacherous mountain range and predatory criminal only to discover that there not always a shining white light at the end of the tunnel . this problem exist world wide and not just in america . some people tend to forget that . a heart breaker of a film that will leave you wonder why at the end . highly recommended .
