This story should have been told better than it was in this movie. It seemed to be very disorganized and difficult to follow. The way this was presented was an opportunity lost.

Wow. That's all I can say about this movie. Absolutely incredible. The strength of this family and what they did to stay alive...and the man who found them to hear their story. WOW!
