I saw a screening last night at the DGA, and wasn't prepared for what I was about to witness. I was in tears several times during the film. It was something that will stick with me forever. I think the fact that this was a true story made it even more powerful.
The whole cast was really wonderful, but Michelle Monaghan stands out in my mind. That girl is a true talent, and hearing her speak after the movie made me realize how invested she is, not only in the film part of the project, but in the charity with Sam Childers as well. Such impressive work, both in front of and behind the camera.
The movie made me want to help. It made me angry that our military, government, and governments across the planet have neglected these people.
I am still reeling from seeing this. Brilliant, moving, and absolutely gut wrenching.
Did someone say Oscar?
