I first found this movie as part of a training for my work as I have been a residential counselor/child care worker for over a decade now and this movie was part of a required training to point out all that they did wrong. Great movie though and almost hits what we do on the head. The job is fairly unknown to the outside world but this movie really got a lot right. Sad it's not more known and praised as it speaks volumes and now has 2 academy award winners in it. LaKieth should really be included in that for this performance alone. I worked with a lot of troubled kids, having my own trauma as well and the movie really touches on that dynamic. All the actors truly shine.
