5,000 Days Project: Two Brothers
Meet Luke and Sam Nelson, two brothers who struggled to develop a positive relationship in childhood. The Nelson boys are just two of 60 kids documented over a 5,000-day period by filmmaker Rick Stevenson.


I just had to post this link here.  If you have a free hour, I highly recommend you spend it on this show. I especially liked the last half where they followed the older brother on his mission to CHILE!! He's a typical, flawed kid who gains much perspective over the two years. I served my mission in Ecuador. I think this accurately shows the fears, silliness and growth experienced by very young adults on a mission.

This is the best documentary ever!!! This really touched my 3 boys hearts. Has made them try to be kinder to each other and has just made them more excited to serve a mission. Truly worth watching. We have watched it twice because we love how it made us feel!!!
