I saw this film in school with my class and it first i though it was going to be dumb or boring. but after a while you start to have sympathy for these boys and wish for things to change in their lives so that they can live through their childhood with out being shot on the street corner. i think it was a great opportunity for these troubled few boys to get a chance to get the special attention they needed to get a small step ahead in their school work while simultaneously learning how to live with one another without fighting and jut be civil with one another and act like the 11 year old boys they are. it sucks that the school was shut down and the boys couldn't return for their last year which it seemed all of which were looking forward to. i think because of this most of the boys quickly adapted back to the Baltimore way of life that they were use to because once again they were let down with false promises of help and reward. i think that they were all good students without all the distraction and worry of city life and in Africa they could just be themselves and focus on their work more easily.
