When I first watched this movie and I'll be honest wasn't expecting much. I was well aware of the event and followed it as it went down so I knew the outcome of it all. What I got was a amazing movie start to finish. Patty Duke, Beau Bridges and Pat Hingle are superb actor's and the story was written very well. In all the raw emotion, the courageous act's, the love that reached out and the professionals all come together and donate their time in rescuing a little girl. I was so intranced by this movie that I cried tears of joy at the end.
There are a couple scenes that urck you as people turning down volunteers and new equipment. A tough doctor who seems cold to what's happening. A mother who turned her back to little kid's and the fact that old water wells that were a accident waiting to happen that were exposed. In all the raw emotion alone will suck you in as you live every minute of the movie. They could have added so much more but staying with the basic formula worked tremendously. This is a must watch for anyone parent or not.
