This is a film that definitely renews one's faith in humanity. Growing up in the racially charged South, I understand very well the division of race and how it affects people. To see this family take in and accept as their own child, this remarkable young man, truly warms the heart. In spite of the extreme poverty and the troubled home that he came from, this young man made a wonderful life for himself.
The Tuohy's should be commended for going against the grain and following their hearts and consciences. The gift of their love and providing for Michael Oher truly touched me. I would recommend this film highly, and I plan to purchase it when it becomes available.
