A SMALL ACT Trailer 2010 from Jennifer Arnold on Vimeo.
It was so so good!!!! I can't wait till I can purchase it and let my friends borrow it. It shows perfectly how one small act of kindness and generosity can change a life. This movie was so inspiring for me because there are days at work when I feel helpless and I desperately need a thank you from a client or a sweet statement for a child telling me that they love Ms. Dana. I can only hope that the small things I do every day will impact someone else's life.My favorite part of the movie was when Chris gave Hilde a Harvard Mom sweatshirt because she truly was the one that started him in that direction. I have to admit that I busted into the Ugly Cry.
I was so into the movie, that I was excited when Andrew woke up and was able to finish the movie with me. I was excited because I had someone to share this movie with. Chris was so passionate about education and how it could change a child's life. I also really enjoyed how when the scholarships were handed out to the children, they would ask them what they wanted to be when they grew up. Those children from Kenya wanted to be doctors and lawyers and they fully believe that with those scholarships, they can do that. It was an amazing AMAZING documentary and I can't wait to watch it again.

Hey there - This is the director of A SMALL ACT. I have a google alert that sends me press about the film, but it also gives me blog updates and such... your blog post just caught my eye because I had to laugh at "I normally don't like documentaries or subtitles." So glad you liked the film and you found it inspirational. The film has inspired people to do their own small acts. People have given donations to all sorts of charities, volunteered in their neighborhoods, hosted screenings and done all sorts of stuff.
anyway - I appreciate you spreading the word. The DVD is out in May and there are all sorts of updates on the facebook page.
Cheers,
Jennifer
