Alyssa's Thoughts

I don't want to give too much about this film away, so it will suffice to say that The Man Who Planted Trees is one of the most powerful and inspiring films I own. I tear up every time I watch it and I feel a renewed desire to find a way to make my own unique and meaningful contribution to the world. This film is pretty hard to get a copy of, so please come and watch it with me some time. I promise it will be a moving experience.
