good film and a good tearjerker

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2015)

tearjerker. This is not necessarily a family film. It is chock full of racism and other bigotries that don't conclude at the films completion. Other reviews highlight the story so I won't.
If for nothing else almost the entire production rests on young Jacob Salvati who portrays eight-year-old, Pepper "little boy" Busbee. I don't know his actual age during the filming. I realize many critics panned this film and I was surprised. Critics sit all day watching movies so they are jaded.
I really liked it and you can get it on Netflix (12-21-2015)
The only thing that stands out is the location. I know of no high mountain along the California coast. I see the film was made in Mexico but that should not detract from the overall experience.
