Amazing

I was lucky enough to have seen the world premiere at the SXSW film festival, and this film is truly one of a kind. This is the amazing story of one family trying to live in the harshest of conditions, and the youngest member, Autumn, who is at the center of it. Her mother is 19, in jail, and her grandmother (38 I believe her age was) was left in charge, only to be constantly sick, leaving Autumn's aunt (13 I think) to take care of her. Her uncle (12) feels that the only way to help his family is to sell drugs, just to get power back on, and Autumn awaits the trial of her mother, hoping that she may return home from prison forever. This emotionally charged film is one of a kind. I have never seen a film that engaged its audience as well as 'Autumn's Eyes' did at its premiere. There were gasps and murmurs throughout the entire screening, and it was one of the most moving documentaries I have ever seen.
