«tTHANK YOU FOR SHARING. Prayers for theses Children» — Elaineee, 2 Jan 2012
«The first girl who spoke was like 13 yrs old going on 40. These kids where angry but then when they opened up they could finally work through the guilt. I wonder how these kids turned out. How many learned not to drink and are some dry alcoholics? Are some living on the streets or living at all? Thank you for this film Gil. This is an important reminder of how alcoholism affects families. Even I hung my head when the boy talked about dad getting drunk always at Christmas because my father did too. Your brother painted pictures with paint and brushes and you Gil, paint with film. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Great art!» — yuallthetime, 23 Jan 2010
