In the face of impossible odds, his brave ambition to become a professional photographer becomes a window into his world and ultimately his way out!

A film everyone has to see - 4.25 out of 5 (7/22/2004)
I first saw this movie yesterday and this film completely blew me away. This film IS based on a true story and it certainly is the best film of the year. I love every part of the film. The movie has violence all over it and it makes it soo real and so disturbing to watch at times, I promise everyone who sees this film will not be disappointed. The features arnt that great but it has a cool documentary and the film by itself makes up for it.I give this film 5/5.
