Saw this when it first came out, during frequent sleepless nights with my 4-year old. Some years later, there was a DVD release with a commentary track by the director and writer John Sales. It's a great film in many ways, in particular for its portrayal of social issues. Watch this film, and if you can, buy the DVD!
