I saw A Journey in My Mother's Footsteps at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival in Cleveland, OH. It won the HUMAN SPIRIT AWARD at this festival. This film touched my soul deeply. It artfully conveys the importance of education for the millions of poor children in India. And it tells the story passionately through the voice of Dina Rosenmeier, the daughter of Jessie Rosenmeier. Jessie has devoted much of her life to helping these children.
My husband I are flying to NYC tomorrow to see the film again. We wouldn't do this if we didn't think the film is fabulous. I question whether the Village Voice and New York Times critics really saw the film. Their depiction of the film's flaws are grossly inaccurate.
I encourage everyone to see this moving film to learn how they can help the many poor children of India. I also encourage the New York Times and the Village Voice to question their critic's reviews of the film.
