REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 22-Jun-2006)

This video is a must for every young student. It is a story of how destructive it is to get involved with with the wrong group, and how this can have devastating effects on one's life. It is also the story of how one man was able to rise above his circumstances and to go on to help children and to be a role model and to exploit the talent that God had given him.
