very emotional and motivational film

The Drop Box was released on March 3, 2015 by Brian Ivie. Ivie is documenting Pastor Lee's every move that has to do with his drop box. The drop box is defined as," a warm bin, lodged in a wall, that allows mothers to deposit their children without being seen"(Ivie 2016). Pastor Lee is seen as the last hope to various numbers of lives. This documentary gives viewers an insight on why that is and what the drop box truly means. Child abandonment is an act that is highly seen in many impoverished countries. Numerous of people are witnesses to it but decide to do nothing about it. Ivie created this documentary to give an insight of how it is seen as a part of everyday life. A handful of kids that are dropped off are seen to have disabilities. This being said, it is clear to say that it is very inhuman. This documentary is meant to send a meaningful and emotional message to all viewers. Pastor Lee and his wife were very aware of the high rate in child abandonment going on in their country, and felt that they had to do something about it. They began to adopt many children that had disabilities to start their journey of a new world. Pastor Lee also wanted to bring it into light for the whole world to see, and that is why he started the drop box at his church. Once they started, their expectations were low of it actually working and starting a movement in their community. Their expectations took a twist after seeing its results within the year, and many babies were saved from abandonment because of their impact of starting the drop box. It was the sanctuary of hope for babies. This film captured the essence of its significance in a way that can be seen as impactful. Ivie began the film by presenting the influential people of this film running to the drop box. That was to give viewers the adrenaline rush to find out why they were running hysterically. In the background you can hear this alarm like noise, which meant that there was a new baby dropped off in the box. Once Pastor Lee got a hold of the infant, he held the baby in his arms and said a quick prayer, in which was a close up shot. It showed the emotion of love seeing him embrace the baby and the tears streaming down his face. That clip foreshadowed the many moments to come with Pastor Lee and his warm hearted presence. An angle shot was shown of the kids running and laughing with Lee to send out a happy feeling. Ivie included various interviews in the film of Pastor Lee and his team and their impact on the community and their kids. It shows viewers how a single step can turn into a movement and save many lives. This film did a phenomenal job of telling us that there is always hope out there, and that everyone deserves to be loved. I highly recommend this to people that love touching, motivating, and hope giving films. It makes you feel loved and that everything will all be alright. You can access this on Netflix and it may change your life.

Deep, enlightening, pleasant experience, but ruined at the end.
