I have mentioned this documentary in one of my Friday links list. However, I loved it so much that it deserves a post. You really must see The Philosopher Kings. It is such a beautiful and well done documentary that allows for an insight into the lives of people who are often overlooked--the custodial staff. It is a true testimony to the intricacies of human lives and the wisdom, beauty, hopes and dreams of those lives--irregardless of social status or position of employment. The stories of those featured are so powerful that it is definitely a must-see (plus, it is a 'watch instantly' option if you have Netflix :).
