where can i watch this movie for free online? my brothers and sister were extras and we're all interested... also, this movie was shot in the early 90s because i was a baby when it was being made.. mr mdcougal had children from all over the suburbs of chicago (evanston) audition.. my siblings were chosen and mr mcdougal funded this movie himself..... hence it was released 5-6 years after being filmed

Wow!! I have not seen anything as bad as this movie in a very long time. Everything about the movie reeked of amateurish, but that's not the worst of it. The storyline is straight of some white fairytale, where privileged white people find their humanity through a defenseless black street urchin. It's too laughable. And then the lame Christian message that kept rearing its head in very strange places. Ah caramba!!
