This film is a period piece of history that is truly enjoyable. ‘Pearl” is an intriguing adventurous story of one young girl’s dream to soar the sky. Although in this day and age 12 year old girls or even boys are not permitted to drive let alone fly a plane solo, one must remember this story takes place around 1928 when times were different.At the end of this movie the audience can enjoy meeting the real Pearl and learn more about her life.
