Yes I have seen it. Its one I made sure I watched, even though movies about
extreme injustice upset me greatly (for weeks, or months even!). If you want
another very moving film (although not always in good ways) try "Once Were
Warriors" about a young Maori family in New Zealand from a lower
socio-economic background. That film had me upset for the longest time...
