Movie #1009 ........................."Where Hope Grows"

Movie #1009  "Where Hope Grows" is quite an inspiring film with the main character who has Downs syndrome.  It has some tough scenes to watch , too, mostly concerning a very wise teenage daughter who has to keep picking  up her alcoholic father from the local jail.  I felt there were a tad too many stories here (sub stories with messages about bullying, teenage sex, baseball and fame, etc.) and the film could have been shorter, but all in all, quite enjoyable and it teaches TOLERANCE, a lesson we never can be taught enough of .

Where Hope Grows

2015 PG-13

I would give this movie 3.5.
