The First Grader – Movie Review

This movie, based on true events, was one of the best and most inspiring movies I have seen in a long time. The movie is based on an elderly man who suffered through the purgatory of trying to gain independence for Kenya from the British Empire. He decides to go back to elementary school when everybody who has a birth certificate can get free education. So he tries to gain admittance into the school, failing a few times and then got accepted. Through his efforts he was able to get the head teacher back, gain himself the ability to read and write, and learn that he had been given commission from the government for suffering torture in the British camps.

This movie was very well directed, edited, and had some great acting. The camera work was spectacular. The way this movie told the story of this man was incredible. I would definitely watch this movie again, and maybe even cry again.

I recommend this movie to everyone. I would rate this movie an 11 out of 10 and say all people should watch this. However, be prepared for an emotional and inspirational movie…
