good back-story, and good acting

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I read a lot of reviews that say that it's a must-see. Let me say that this is not an exaggeration when I say that you must see this documentary. I'm surprised that this movie isn't more well known.This is a true story about a young man living without passion in the Midwest who decides to go to India because he is seeking authenticity in his life. He finds it there in an orphanage for HIV kids.I don't think I've really cried in a long time but this movie did it over and over again. But this movie will bring you joy at the same time.It will make you re-examine your life.

There our people who crib about how their life is a big waste & how ending it would be much better. . This movie essentially shows these suicidal people that being alive is a big blessing & if you have that blessing, celebrate it & touch as many lives as possible. . Nationality, religion, or any other barriers are just excuses you choose to make. . Rocky Brat is indeed an inspiration. Also watching the movie, you are sure to find some beautiful shots & a glimpse of rural south India.The narrative style beautifully captures the emotions of love, sacrifice,pain,victory. Would love to see an extended documentary on Rocky Anna life after his marriage & the kind of work that he's doing.

I was totally blown away. No excessive writeup is needed. It's powerful, authentic and raw. It's the best documentary I've seen because you just feel like you are right there with them. Just see it.I must write more because IMDb won't accept my review without 10 lines of review, so you can ignore this part if you want. I wont' put any spoilers in either so you can be blown away by this movie like I was. Films like this go to the theater and are ignored by the ordinary film goers, but they should not be. We should all see movies like this because it brings hope to our spirits. In this hopeless world, I cannot think of a better way to bring hope than to give your life to HIV orphans in a far off place.Again I urge all of you - just see this movie.

At the our screening of Blood Brother at the Sundance Film Festival, the filmmakers had to ask the audience to stop our standing ovation. As a host for Sundance Film-Forward and the Human Rights Watch Film Festivals, I've seen hundreds of docs, and Blood Brother is far-and-away the best documentary our group had seen in years, and the best film we saw at Sundance this year - period. The film doesn't just have heart, either, but is full of stunningly beautiful cinematography with scenes that make the filmmakers seem impossibly lucky. The film swells with emotive music, inspired events, unscripted words of incredible wisdom, and moments of raw transparency. In the end, it becomes a film that transcends its genre. At its core, Blood Brother is a universally appealing film, which I believe is one of the reasons it was such a rousing success at Sundance. It is a buddy film, a hero's journey, a drama, a comedy, and a love story all rolled into one epic documentary that reminds the viewer just how beautiful and valuable even the most tragic of lives can be. After the film, Rocky (the subject of the film) and the film crew hung around to answer questions, and it was clear that the film was an honest and genuine glimpse into the lives of extraordinarily compassionate people who truly live up to the radical kindness expressed in the film. It certainly deserves every accolade it has garnered so far.
