Don't miss it!, 7 March 2008
10/10
Author: hamomili from United Kingdom

I rated this documentary with a 10 out of 10, because the kids in it, their lives, the tragedies they go through and the way they just fight it all back with a song and a smile is so shocking for all of us people that our life problems revolve around jobs, debts, holidays etc.

Watching this I felt that if I was faced with the problems these kids encounter in their lives (no parents, AIDS killing my relatives and the people that I love, poverty) I would definitely break. But their innocence and strength is amazing! Plus, the songs you will hear in 'We are together' are amazing, the kids' voices are amazing and if you watch the movie or buy their CD you help them with their Agape kids' home.

I was moved and amazed by this and it gave me another perception of life, which I knew it existed, but never had such a striking reference for it.

Highly recommended!
