I started watching “Tears for April” yesterday, not having any idea what to expect……. 90 minutes later I was still “glued” to the screen – totally oblivious of the amount of time that had passed.
Heart Wrenching, Heart Warming, Despair, Hope, Tears, Smiles, Frustration, ……. So many emotions ….. but the overwhelming one I am left with at the end of the film is Appreciation. Appreciation for the individuals who allowed us into their lives, shared their vulnerabilities and realities with us, as well as a great appreciation for those who had the vision and commitment to create this documentary – enabling so many of us to open our eyes, hearts and minds to the ravages of drug use. Teaching us how easy addiction can take over, how a life full of possibilities can so quickly be turned to a life where the next “fix” is paramount…..
You have no idea how much I appreciate you sharing it! I’ll be watching it again – with a Grandson!
