This is an excellent movie with an excellent story. Young sixteen year old Corey is battling Sickle Cell anemia and is trying to keep it from his classmates. He wants to live a normal life. However, he is given an assignment to do a report about the disease with another student and he has to confront his feelings about it. Through his studies he learns that bone marrow transplants can help cure some sufferers of the disease and he lobbies to find a donor although his mother is resistant to the idea. Corey, in one touching scene, tells others that it helps to pray to God, and “Don’t feel sorry for me-I don’t feel sorry for myself.”
This is a story of courage, faith in God and one of perseverance. It is not intended for the very young but is a wholesome movie and we are recommending it for all ages. Dominyck McCargo is terrific as Corey as are Trina Brown as his mother and Rochelle Ojeda as Corey’s friend Carrie. This movie will inspire you!
