Program Notes
Movie Review: Finding Bobby Fisher. In this movie we explore the difference between passion, natural talent, and being pushed too far. Impoverished children are often pushed just to get good grades. At Climb For A Child we need to go way beyond this in order to get the kids to become successful adults on their journey out of poverty. Movies like this give us a safe place to explore these issues.
