The most surprising thing about this documentary is that the story remained untold for so long. It's a natural. The film-making part is challenging, trying to recreate a forty-year period on two continents on a limited budget and within ethical restrictions on what constitutes "documentary" images. Nonetheless, the story itself and the characters portrayed, especially Rodriguez, carry the film from beginning to end. It's a remarkable piece of work and an uplifting tale that leaves the audience bubbling with superlatives on the way to the exits. The producers clearly dropped some potentially hot potatoes, such as where the money went and who the daughters' mother or mothers were, but the essential story holds up throughout.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.
