Great Movie about Acts of Change, " A Small Act"

Crossposted from Karmatube http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=2179

When Hilde Back sponsored a young, rural Kenyan student, she thought nothing of it. She certainly never expected to hear from him, but years later she does. Now a Harvard graduate and a Human Rights Lawyer for the United Nations, Chris Mburu decides to find the stranger that changed his life. Inspired by her generosity, he starts a scholarship program of his own and names it for his former benefactor. Using a strong narrative, the film interweaves seemingly separate lives into a cohesive whole. With clarity and grace, A SMALL ACT, bears witness to the ripple effect a single action can create.

Comment by Peter Paul on November 20, 2012 at 4:32am: I would like to follow in Chris's footsteps some day. He speaks for so many of us. When i met my own sponsor who has since passed on, i wondered what had motivated her to help a stranger like me. Great job Chris, may you continue to find the means to provide the future that has eluded so many children in many parts of the world. Thumbs up!!
