Heartbreaking and very important

OK, at first, I was gonna write "I have no words", but actually I have quite a few words..

This is by far the saddest, but also the most important documentary I've ever seen. I really appreciate good documentaries. After seeing this one, I just can't stop crying. This really got me thinking. 24 minutes of love, hope, pain and heartbreaking scenes. It's such an important topic. I believe and hope that this will help people see that life is fragile. This can happen to anyone. We need documentaries like this one.

My thoughts go to all of the incredible persons in this project, and all of the people who goes trough the same.
