Precious


Precious is a movie that strikes at the human condition. I can not emphasize enough how important it is for anyone who works in the safety net to view this movie. For me, it is a guttural reaction when I saw this movie. Precious is not a unique story. So many kids are raised in a chaotic environment in our country. What Precious is able to due is to take you into their reality.

Teachers, Social Workers, and anyone working in the field of human service are black and white. They either have empathy, or they do not. This movie should be viewed by the naysayer that believes in reality that all children are born equal. They are not. Some have huge obstacles to overcome. One of them being the value systems we impose on them.

Amazing Movie.
Watch it!
