this movie be about development . people grow and people fade and people surprising and people disappoint . it have it all and more . there be hope and frustration and injustice and justice and love and hate . it be truly a classic drama that have fantastic performance from the whole cast but especially whoopi goldberg in her debut role . this movie make me feel very human and proud of it and and i suggest that this movie should be mandatory each saturday in all prison in the world it touch your compassion . rating represent positive . ps represent i admit it represent i shed a tear of joy during the final scene .
