Just perfect...

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Absolutely incredible documentary, unlike any I've ever seen in a variety of ways (and my wife and I see a doc a week! The cinematography, editing,unique melding of narrative fiction and non-fiction, and MOSTLY.. the amazing cast of characters made for an unforgettable evening. It's not the usual "downer" about the "poor, helpless little poverty stricken orphans". These kids...and this amazing teacher..are positively inspirational! If this film had studio backing, it would absolutely win the Oscar for Best Documentary! My hope is that some power player or cable network sees it and gives it the international platform it deserves. See it before it leaves NYC!

We went to quad cinema today on west 13th street in NYC to see Still I Strive.I brought my two kids (11 and 8 years old) and we all thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I have been traveling to Cambodia for 24 years and working there for 14. Cambodia is a country that most of the world knows little about but a short 30 years ago suffered incredible genocide. But today, right now, the children of that generation are still struggling to survive each day and rebuild their country. I highly recommend you take the short 1.5 hours out of your day to see a real and important story about the children of Cambodia.

It is quite impossible to hold your tears while you watch this heartwarming documentary. It takes you back to the time that we all have lost, the once true gift of life called the "childhood", where we played kings and queens, laughed in the rain and quarreled with our elders.But the documentary explores a harder reality of orphan children of Cambodia, their harsh beginnings, lost of their simple colorful existences in a little country with big problems. The filmmaker brilliantly succeeds in preserving the innocence of children by integrating a mythic tale wonderfully acted by the little gems, thus making it a documentary for all ages. It is a risk well taken. It is all about determination, hard work, larger than life dreams and overcoming hardships, and it'll inspire you with each shot.

I had the privilege of seeing this film when it previewed in California in the summer of 2012. I was moved, inspired and profoundly touched by this movie and the content.For me this was truly the triumph of the creative spirit determined to survive against overwhelming odds. The fact that it is a story within a documentary was itself an act of inspiration and ingenuity that I think added to my overall enjoyment of the film.As someone who works in the area of 'transformation' I was impressed by how the medium of theatre was used so skillfully to bring about such a deep and meaningful message to the audience while providing a vehicle that assisted in the healing and transformation of the subjects.Brilliantly done and a must see.
