This story is incredibly inspiring. It shows how a woman, with everything in her life going downhill, can still find the strenght to not give up and fight for both herself and others. The message in this movie is deffinately to never give up, have faith in yourself, and belive that nothing is imposible, and that one person can actullay make a difference.
i agree on the message. You nailed it with the sentence never give up and to have faith in yourself. Let's hope this will apply to the class this year too!
