A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is the only film that I've wanted to write a brief review. I shall skip over any shortcomings as I am sure there will be plenty of people willing to write about them. I congratulate these four guys for a brilliant piece of work, an excellent project. It is well filmed, high quality work, and something I would recommend to others. I gave this a ten out of ten. Yes its a film project, but much more than that. They have put their money where their mouth is, something that few have done. I really enjoyed the story. I found it thought provoking and well considered. Thanks for making this. Quite possibly the best bit of TV I have seen in years. Well done.

You can take this for what it's worth. Some of the IMDb critics make good points, some just reveal their inner hang-ups. Yes, two college kids decide to "go for it" in a poor land. Good for them. Yes, they did not work but made a budget to simulate life in poverty on a buck a day. I also felt like they had a cushion called a bank account. They at least strove for integrity with the paper number each day.This did lack depth of character. They discussed these people had much more going than what the surface showed, but did not go there. Mistake. They are college kids, not Spielberg! If you take what they gave us, work with it. They at least did something and need credit for that! Bottom line is those in the States are like the frog in water. We are boiled to death in Western culture and those in "poverty" have far greater riches which should have been the focus.Relationships are more solid over there. Male-female roles not confusing. Walk by faith a daily occurrence. When you have little, people are what matters. We have lost most of this in the USA. People are so consumed in their own lives (technology has made life worse relationally) that they do not trust anyone and live shallow, desperate lives by being busy to drown out the loneliness. When life crashes in, who do you call? We call 9-11, they call each other. Don't get me wrong, we are blessed, but we don't need each other anymore like they do.So who truly is more rich?

This movie is absolutely remarkable. It opens the eyes of viewers to look past the place that they live and realize that even on your hardest day, you can still have it better than others. I absolutely loved it the first time I watched it, and the 4 times after that as well. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I may not be able to change the entire world but if I can just change one person's world that is good enough for me and I want to spend the rest of my life doing so. Thank you for the inspiration and a view of true humanity. God Bless everyone involved in the production of this film. Sincerely,A 15 Year Old Viewer

As I watched this movie, it brought me back to the times I've been to that region to help the people there. I have recommended this movie to anyone who has asked me what it's like there in a country where as much as the beauty takes your breath away, so does the poverty. These young man did a great job showing the viewer what challenges are faced in the region around Lake Atitlan. The uncertainty of life in this area was shown. These young men made a difference in the lives of the people there and as the people have for me, made a difference in the lives of these young men. If you have an hour to watch this movie, please take the time and do so, it will not be time wasted, it may just inspire you to do something to make a difference in someones life
