Like many postgraduates yearning to experience the world, Rocky Braat traveled to India and marveled at the sights, sounds, and culture. But his short jaunt evolved into something more lasting when he visited an orphanage for children living with HIV. Rocky sold all his possessions and decided to move there permanently. Blood Brother is the heartwarming story of Rocky’s calling, seen through the eyes of his childhood best friend, director Steve Hoover. Hoover’s doubts about the sustainability of Rocky’s mission are answered the first time we walk through the orphanage doors; the love between the kids and Rocky is overwhelming. We see how hard Rocky works to make their childhoods as normal and carefree as possible, amid troubling and sometimes tragic conditions. This incredibly honest and moving film has as many moments of wonder and joy as it does wrenching sadness. The result is an unforgettable testament to selflessness and compassion.  RM
