, 2015 The documentary of the subject was a powerful yet depressing but it 's the reality of so many people. When we finished watching the documentary, "30 days" I took a break and reflect about the things I have in my life, and thanked my parents everyday for always working hard for us. Even with long hours of working, they always bring a smile on their face to hide how tired they are and entertain us.
