Powerful, moving film about grief camp.

This is worth the watch! It captures the healing power of connection and finding others who share a similar experience. I was a counselor at a different grief camp, Camp Forget Me Not, and this film reminded me of the activities, the conversations, the laughter and fun, the sad and touching moments, the healing connection that happens when kids are with other kids who've experienced a major loss.
