Wonderful film...full of realistic, thought-provoking scenes. Very relatable to our everyday experiences. The film explores themes of moving to a new home, racial challenges, coming of age and confronting one's weaknesses. It offers a nice balance between drama, humor and reality. Recommend it for any age, including young adults, who can relate to the young actors and their characters. The music choices are great; the music enhances the story and the visual. The acting--young and old--was spot on! The characters were so believable, that i fell into the story and wholeheartedly went along for the ride! I highly recommend this film!

"Hightower, Knox, Newberry, Beiderman. Each of their signatures is a self- swallowing set, a name that shorthand's a body of thought, a life's work. The question isn't who you are. The question is: who did I turn out to be? Who am I to you? Are faded chalk marks and scratches on the floor the only evidence that I was here, or did some scribbled note, some fragment of a proof invert your perception of the world… Even confirm it, cementing what you knew in your heart to be true, with the balance of left column to right? What footprints have I left behind? Do they endure, or have the ocean of discovery wash them away already? How many lives have I touched?

Have I touched yours?"
