How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quietly moving portrait of one man's determination to restore dignity and purpose to those discarded by society, anchored by the conviction that the human spirit is capable of far more than the world allows it to believe.
