Blood Brother

(Rocky with Crew of 'Blood Brother')

It was interesting to see how an average person like Rocky could make such an impact to the lives of the children he helped. I was taken aback about the entire subject of the film. Documentaries I think are sometimes more powerful than regular fictional film because it is real. There is no hiding from what you see on screen. For the most part, documentaries are shot as the events are happening instead of staging them like in a regular film. This allows the story to be striped away from anything that can get away from raw emotion and gives the audience a sense that events are happening as they see it. 

The team is currently working on their second documentary 'Gennadiy' which follows the story of a man living in Ukraine who helps homeless drug addicted kids get back on their feet again. Sometimes forcefully. It seems to me that these young filmmakers are interested in human interest stories that deal with suffering children and someone who tries and helps them out of their situation. The film is scheduled to hit the film festival market in 2015. The crew had a kickstarter campaign that ended recently to help fund production.
