This is an amazing movie. I saw it at a festival here and aam so relieved it is out because i have been telling people about it ever since. 21 Below so beautifully captures a family in crisis. It seriously made me think, made me laugh and made me cry. The way the story is told and how the film is made is too exquisite and you really feel like you get to know this family over time. Their dynamic. The relationships. And as crazy as the circumstances seemed at times, they are like any other family, just trying to make sense of the world and deal with the challenges they've been dealt. Like brilliant docs should, it takes a specific story of tragedies big and small, and through its raw portrayal draws emotion universal to all of us. Bravo.

I saw this film at Sheffield Doc/Fest and it really is a great film that packs a considerable emotional punch. It is the kind of film that is engaging from the start, yet raises wider questions about the way we live, love and lie to each other, (and ourselves!). It stayed with me long after the final frame and credits rolled. Don't miss it!!
