I couldn’t find a good review for this movie. The one review on its Rotten Tomatoes profile appears to be for a different movie of the same name.

It was made for TV and maybe it just slipped into obscurity before the internet age, where everything generates an online footprint.

Based on a true story. Made me cry.
