The Children of Huang Shi - 2008

Here's a film that got lost in the shuffle (because it was not seen by many people).   It is so worth a screening.   It stars actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.  It is based on an incredible true story.   The film centers on the story of George Hogg, a young British journalist,  and the sixty orphans that he led across China in an effort to save them from conscription during the Second Sino-Japanese war.
