    I had never heard of this movie until recently. I'm so glad someonme suggested it. It will make you rethink your priorities, it will make you cherish your family, it will make you want to change the world. Amazing.

    I have seen this movie about 3-4 times before and I loved it each time. It's a story of love, more love, loss, more loss and the survival of a strong loving wife and mother.

    Great movie! Loved it. I have seen this movie probably 3 times since it came out on video and enjoy it every time. I also dream of going to Africa, but probably never will, so this movie is a replacement for my trip.
