Reviews

kaeverett This movie was exceptional. Like some of the other posts I too have never forgotten this movie. Very, very powerful - 30 years later I can still recall vivid images and details of this movie. I struggled to find the title of this movie as the only thing I could remember about the title was the word "free". I remember seeing the movie in the theater as a child; I figured the movie was released in the 70's; it seems so amazing to have such a memory of this film at the age of 7. What I remember most was the despair and alienation that the African boy was going through after arriving in New York to reconnect with his friend. His struggle seemed to mirror the feelings that I had as a adopted child that I could not find the words to express. I now have a family of my own and I would really love to have a copy of this movie.

SCarroll_76 A very heart-warming story and I would love to see it again. I saw this movie about 20 years ago and its one of the few I never forgot.(having only seen it once). It tells the story of two children who become best of friends and get up to all kinds of mischief, some we can probably relate to ourselves. My memories of the adult actors are vague but I always remember the two youngsters who had me engrossed as an 8 year old.It teaches us about the true value of friendship and this is highlighted especially in a certain moment in the movie.A great movie for kids and adults alike.

jilabel I saw this movie in school of all places, when I was about 9 or 10 years old, and I will never forget it. The adventurous story of these two boys takes you into places you normally don't see in a typical "kids" film. Sometimes scary, sometimes touching, it's very heartfelt and REAL. No schlock here. I'll always remember it.

ocallaghan I lived in Africa for many years as a child and was taken to this movie at an outdoor movie theatre at the Etosha Pan game reserve. I saw this movie under the title "A Lollipop".This is truely a film to inspire racial harmony and love and could serve a tool to teach our young children to be more tolerant.This film deserves far more credit than it ever received.
