this be no walk in the park . i saw this when it come out and and haven not have the gut to watch it again . you will never see a more horrifyingly devastate or depress movie . i felt like i would be severely beat . what kind of world be we live in when we have child who be treat bad than garbage . this be our world and what we have create and what we have allow to happen . and i would hesitate to say that i me we be not responsible for this . babenco make this film to wake u up and to shake u to our very core and and he succeed . how can we be cruel and or self indulgent and or neglectful of our child and when we see the graphic result of such behavior . he be point a finger of accusation at u all for do this to the lowly and least powerful of our society . and if you aren not do something each day to prevent it and then you be part of the problem . i be not a religious fanatic and but this movie make me think about the state of my soul .
