Hard not to be moved

First review here but like others have said, this is definitely worth looking at. A different perspective on these types of things is always nice and all, but the message that each person sends is special and has a long-lasting effect. There are some documentaries where afterwards you're left contemplating life; this one makes you realise these people have not only been doing that for years, but will most likely continue doing so for decades more, all the while we have the freedom to make our own choices. Yeah, it hits that hard.
