Purple Don't Cry

A great movie to inspire young children and to warn them about the dangers of the streets. I would recommend the film to anyone. It was inspirational, heart warming, and based off Boonaa Mohammad's life. It was amazing to watch and hope to see more of these types of films to help the youth. I even learnt from this film and am realizing that really anything could happen to you. The contradiction and confusion going on with purple is how life really works. Even though purple has everything to be a good person, he is put in a sticky situation and a hard environment to truly be the best person he could be. This was a truly amazing film!

Good to see a movie that gives a motivational message to our youth.

It's a movie that I'm sure people can relate to in various ways from drugs, gangs, families, bad influences and most importantly religion and the role it plays. It was a movie that also had showcased morals and the importance of role models.

These topics in the movie may seem controversial but it's important for people to see these things and realise this is real.

Well done to the movie makers and actors.

Great to see movies like this being produced.

Thank you for the actors and producer for travelling to Australia and having a panel discussion to inspire the arts within the community.

Important messages for the Muslim youth captured in an engaging and relatable way. This film is a must watch for anyone in the muslim community. Good for the whole family, this film follows Bilal, a misguided young man who gets into trouble with the streets. He meets Purple, who is a sort of mentor but is also caught up in the world of drug dealing. I thought Purple's character was so interesting and complex - he is a walking contradiction. Bilal learns a lot through the duration of his journey and has to choose the life he wants to live. I liked the representation and authentic muslim voices echoed throughout this film.

I watched the purple don't cry movie today and its premiere in Edmonton Alberta. I was moved by the theme of this movie and how Relatable can be to it every day people lives. They talk the truth it's very touching and it is definitely a must see movie! We are always supporting western movie and it is time that we support our community and raise up the youth to aspire to be movie creators, artists and poets. I'm very excited for the endless future opportunities that this movie has brought out. Well done Bona Mohamed and the cast. This movie has a lot of lessons that the youth can learn from, and to see different perspective of other people's lives without judging them.

This has to be one of the best movies of the year. With amazing performances from all the actors, this is an inspirational movie especially people who are faced with challenges in life while growing up. I would recommend people to watch this movie to get a feel how young men fell prey to gansgters on streets and end up ruining their lives. Althought based on a true story, the movie manages to remain eye catching and interesting till the very end. And the best part is you can watch with your family, since it has so many takeaways and lessons to be learnt. I would love to watch this movie again.
