Dove Review

This movie is a shining example of judging what is on the inside of a person and not the outside. It is a story about Down Syndrome and how some of the unfortunate patients of this condition are treated.

Grace was born with a bad heart and suffers from Down Syndrome. When a prank is pulled on her at the Homecoming it causes a lot of grief and several people question the way they acted and treated Grace.

This is a touching movie and we are awarding it our Dove Seal for ages twelve plus. It features the theme of forgiveness. This is a powerful story.
