One of the best movies I've seen. If every African American mother, father were to embrace the method of this mother, our race would improve by leaps and bounds towards the direction of God. We should demand our children fulfill God's destiny for their lives. It should not be an option, and parents should agree if they care for their childrens well being.

CubA Gooding provieds another heartwarming presentation about one person triumping against all odds because of a deep rooted faith ... that something within that rises up to take advantage of opportunity when it calls. The Mind is a miracle.
