It's a brilliant movie; saw it last night at a museum showing in D.C. Sad but uplifting at the same time. One of the kids in the film has an eye for photographs that would put many of us, myself included, to shame. Fingers crossed for an Oscar win!

thanks, matt, for the link.

 

speaking of those images from the kids, here is the link that you can order the book with collections of the images. all proceeds, i believe, will go to the support of the cause to improve lives on the street.
