This is an incredible look at the lives of two beautiful boys growing up in rural Arkansas. You grow to love these boys even though they make mistakes like average teenagers. I'm not much of a crier during movies, but this documentary really moved me. I must say that the director did a very fair job of portraying families that weren't necessarily functional, but at the same time were very decent and loving people in their own way. The teachers who run the "David School," are very patient and loving, and the principal (Mitzi,) is one of the best educators I've ever seen portrayed in film. I just wish that all of our educators would be as encouraging as she was (sadly she retired during the film.) I recommend this film to students who are studying psychology, sociology, or future teachers and counselors. Kudos to the director and the participants :)

I agree with the other reviews- this is a great show- even tracked down and bought the DVD before they were selling it on the internet- however it takes place in Kentucky, not Arkansas.:)to be exact David,Kentucky. I missed the first night it was on PBS but made sure to catch the other two nights.I definitely recommend this to everyone,no matter what age you are there is something in it you can relate to.Check out the web page as well- there's updates and things that the were not shown on TV or the DVD.The other shows this director has done are just as good they are def worth watching as well,especially the Farmer's Wife. Both are def worth adding to your DVD collections.
