Congratulations to the youth who made this film. It is well shot and edited, very informative, and a great tool for cross-cultural communication and awareness.

I do not see any violations happening, other than police harassing her, which happens in USA all day long. I think her life is as peaceful and easy as mine, but with less government interference. Nothing to feel sorry about here, only to envy.
