“Life in Osborn” is an inspiring documentary, showing that a “can do” attitude can get things done. This splendid documentary by Walter V. Marshall focuses on the Life Remodeled program and the work of Chris Lambert and his wife Andrea, who labor with the citizens of Osborn and various organizations to greatly improve the community. The documentary focuses on the hardships involved in dealing with the community blight. And Osborn has had the greatest crime rate in the City of Detroit area. Yet signs of hope include the graduation rate at the high school increasing from fifty percent to eighty percent. The film also features a life that is improved, that of a woman named Pandora who tragically lost her eighteen year old son. Yet through Chris’s attention to her, compassion, and the outreach of the community, she begins to grow spiritually and her drunkenness and bitterness begins to turn into appreciation. She labors right along with the others to improve her community. She shares in the praying too.
The people of Osborn make a difference and receive help from many other volunteers and organizations. Even Mary, the CEO of GM, gets behind the labor to restore the community. The people work together and clean up the neighborhood, board up abandoned homes, and even trim the bushes of homes. “Life in Osborn” is the inspiring story of the improvement of Osborn and of the High School, with it getting a new roof, a new cafeteria and gym, not to mention an updated office and library. We are more than pleased to award this compelling documentary our Faith Friendly Seal for ages twelve plus. “Life in Osborn” speaks of hope!
