It’s a real world!! - It's a Free World review by TB
A film that portraits the world of immigration and their employment in a society that at times uses them for their own gain. The initial heartfelt actions and determination of the main character and the storyline are quickly overtaken by risk, greed, selfishness and the exploitation of those on the brink of desperation. Don’t think for one minute that this isn’t happening in the real world, right under our noses and this film highlights this without being spectacular but good enough to watch. Would have given 2.5 out of 5 if possible.
