Jacob's Turn

A profound story told in a simple, straightforward, yet incisive way. There is no room for empty rhetoric as the story unfolds, only words and images that touch the viewer as they smoothly flow. The narration, images/photography, sound are perfectly mixed and harmoniously balanced, expertly woven together to create a masterly story. This documentary actually transcends the boundaries of the genre: it provides a thorough insight into Jacob's life without any external intrusion. And the smile and gladness of this extraordinary child linger on even after the end of the documentary. A great contribution to the world of documentaries.
