What touched me the most is when the young boy said.."l can still watch the animals "..he reminded me of my son that lost his life after 10 years of fighting..l never heard my son complain..children are so often perfect little people , living among us, putting up with us..and we have no idea. My deepest respect for all parents that are living the nightmare of a child who isn't well.

God bless the producers, the script writer and the actors. When films like this are made, then there is still hope for mankind. Not a typical block buster or Hollywood produce, but this one deserves a noble prize for peace. The pace of the movie, the music, the acting, the editing and cutting . . . just perfect. Thank you in the name of humanity. And greetings to all from Germany.

Life is not about the money, it's about people. Probably for the first time in his career Oliver made a compassionate & sensible decision. This is a wonderful movie, not really a thriller, but very, very worthwhile to watch - and think about.

wow! The actor who played the little boys father is a phenomenal actor! the whole cast was great. I hope to see movies of this quality more often. well worth watching! powerful story that pulled the tears from my grown-up man eyes. such a fine piece of work! can't say enough about well done this movie was!

Damn! Was not expecting to hug the tissue box. Hardest hit was when the father took to the pen not even knowing in detail what he's signing because his son's life was all that mattered. 😭 I think the nugget should've been included in the envelope. Great cast and cinematography. I also enjoyed listening to the dialect of the high mountain region and scenery of that land is breathtaking. Must visit Peru one day! Thank so much for this upload!

This movie really made me cry. It is good to know that love, consideration, sympathy, care, utmost understanding of people's feelings and positive perceptions prevail. Kudos to all the cast! They are great.👌❤️ Thank you for giving this such nice movie!👍👌♥️

I loved how the story unfolds from the beginning to end. The movie inspired me to be fair and be kind because someone is fighting a battle you don't know. I appreciate the love of father to his son.

Words are not enough to describe this movies. The actors did amazing job. You can never quantify human life. The father did not hesitate to sign the document to save his son's life. Human greed, selfishness, decadence have no limit but sacrifice is still the hallmark of few human beings. The movie is thought provoking. I really appreciate the crews. From Nigeria

So rare today to watch a movie so well done. Spectacular. The script, actors, producers, directors, editors, authenticity, and scenery...WOW!

It’s crazy how money (greed) can take someone down a dark rabbit hole. Most of us don’t see what is behind the scenes when it comes to land, government, money, and how it affects lives. Excellently written and produced.

What a movie. Definitely deserves worldwide recognition and needs to be translated into many languages, as the theme is so central. Hats off to the Producer and his team. Love from India

The movie carefully portrays Corporation's exploitation of the farmers, human's greed, frustration for delayed medical treatment, indigenous people loving their own land, love for the children and above all realising a mistake and turning away from it.. Great movie!!!

When the father sign the paper agreeing to sell his land for the sake of his son..I almost cried. 😢 A sad reality of life that is happening in this real world way before and now. The best story.

I had tears in my eyes. I love the acting and the plot of this movie. Great job, worth watching

I got emotionally involved in this movie. May God deliver us from the love of money. When movies become realistic than idealistic. It's great when movies teaches us life lessons and shows us reality. Thank you for this movie

Phenomenal movie! Great writing, great acting, great camerawork, great directing, just one complete work. Its time there were a LOT more Hispanic/American collaborations. There are so many compelling storylines one can weave. That little boy should get an Oscar!

The boy, the boy's father, and Maria are such great actors. WoW! Kudos to the writer and director. Amazing movie !!!

this is a true movie with a real story : never give up on your integrity at any price

This is a 1 in a thousand movie. Unless you have a heart of stone you will find this moving to the max, on so levels. There is so much depth here. Don't be dissuaded by a slow start. It is so well worth it. Everything is needed, everything is used to better remind of us real priorities. Priorities that you would appreciate when taking your last breaths.

A rare and thought-provoking film. Beautifully evokes the harsh realities of rural Peruvian life, and also the triumph of the human spirit over greed and corruption.

Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲 LOVELY movie!! When the father was signing the paper had me in tears

A beautiful film...! I was moved to tears and what a screenplay delivered by all..!

Emotional, love of a father, attachment to your land and human compassion. Great movie indeed.

Some of us were brought up from childhood in a ruthless world but learned quickly that love a compassion are more important. However children born into privelege never experienced this and after university studies they would become ruthless and difficult to change as entitlement was all they knew.Thank you Peru and whoever made this movie. An excellent example of how to save the world. Great acting too.

That was one of the best things he will ever do in his life. When he is 90, it will shine the brightest. He will return to his family a new man.

Recommended! Made in 2013. IMDB shows 2015 release. Robert Pugsley said it right: "Slow to the middle, all areas getting set. The second half, all the areas come together." Good acting from everyone. 1.5 hours of my time well spent.

What a great movie. When the nurse said "I'm tired of waiting," it showed the consequences of impatience and not considering the pain and needs of others. There was so much to learn from this movie, especially the greediness of big corporations.

Cheers 🥂 to us who enjoy reading comments before watching the movie

Father's love to a precious son...gave up d land he treasured most but thanks Oliver made d right decision...This is another one amazing movie, a bit dragging but unique story line. Thanks for sharing👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Marvellous movie with a bitter sweet ending. Glad to see that money isn’t the be all of everything 👍👍👍

All teary and all... how the boy was so passionate about locating the lost animal, how he was so interested in the flying chopper, the woman's passion about her mother's health, the friend that was always there taking care of her ailing mum...gosh this is a must watch!

I love the ending, this is so beautiful, realizing it was a poor family, thanks that you changed your minds

A touching to the heart movie...based to true facts of life... greed, power, but still family love remains..

The young lad Diego touched my very soul...beautiful film❤

This sure was not an ordinary movie with the usual well known 'stars' and a "cookie-cutter" script. This was powerful and gut wrenching and exposed the dark side of International development projects in 3rd world countries at the expense of the people of that country. These unknown ( at least to me here in the U.S. ) actors showed their heart and soul and did an outstanding and believable job. I read a book some years ago now called " Confessions Of An Economic Hitman", written by a man named John Perkins. I highly recommend getting this book. He told how he worked for these international corporations and went to these types of 3rd world countries and financed huge projects such as oil and energy projects like hydroelectric projects. When the country could not pay their debt when it was demanded by the corporations, the corporations would take over the economy of the country and the people were worse off than before. This stuff really happens...it's not just a sad movie...it is hard core reality.

An excellent movie that must be seen by big corporations! It makes me sick when a greedy corporation tries to grab and acquire acres of land from indigenous people! A great movie that depicts that love, consideration, sympathy, care, utmost understanding of people's feelings and positive perceptions still prevail! Thank you for uploading this great movie for people around the world to learned from!

This movie is the exact explanation of the Bible verse that says "for the love of money is the root of all evil". It's so poignant. People can be so shrewd and so evil!😢

Tears in my eyes when the man handed the letter to the nurse. The writer has a compassionate heart.

Greed has been the greatest undoing in the world but it's good to know there is still hope for humanity. Great lessons and great acting by the cast.

This is one movie that a tear flowed freely from my eye. Sad and educative too, how humanity still wins. The movie of the Year it should be.

A hug to all those who watched this movie. Of course to those who made it. Should be seen by all politicians .

Empathy,Valor, strength of character. What a splendid last ACT. A superb movie. Thank you.

A beautiful, extraordinary and poignant movie! An amazing cast, well acted, written and directed; thank God for the goodness in people!

I agree, I totally cried when the Son realized he lost his leg, said I can still take care of the animals. 😥 It was incredible how all their lives were interwoven. Big surprise when he realized Nathan new along the land was sitting on Gold mine. So happy he gave the Father his contract back.

BRILLIANT. Not only a good movie, and well acted. But it brings home a critical point for Humanity: We can still have Moral Progress.

This was a well done movie. Heart breaking, maddening, incomprehensible. So many "if onlys".

What a great movie .the most touching part was the boy after seeing his amputated leg and still sayin “ I can still take care of the animals “ oh boy you’re so handsome and lovely ♥️♥️♥️

Dolorosa como lo es la vida para mucha gente manipulada por la vileza de los poderes dominantes enfermos de codicia. Ojalá haya siempre alguien con un poco de luz para equilibrar en parte esta balanza con peso tan desigual. Gran película. Grandes actuaciones. Gracias por compartirla.

What a gem of a movie-and what an understatement, too! An impressively clever plot that evolves from seemingly incoherent at first and gradually gels over the message that human perception and judgment is incapable of reaching beyond the limitations of the simplistic individual's grasp without figuring in other parties, regardless of culture or status. Not flattering, but factual. An astute analysis of the self-perpetuating origins of conflict among our kind and a very difficult message to bring across plainly and convincingly in a feature lenght movie without appearing artificial, patronizing or otherwise stilted.

There is no wealth bigger than the love for family and child. At end, Oliver understood there wouldn't be any riches, which could bring him closer to the wealth he already had at home waiting for him, his wife and children. Deep very deep!.

WOW! This was an unexpected emotional ride, something about this boy won my heart instantly! The greedy slime ball got played like he deserved. What an excellent job by all!!

this is a great film that shows that being humane is still possible in this world. May god bless people who make films like this. This is from chennai, India. Iam proud to say that I have seen this film. God bless.

what touched me so much was when the boy said " i can still watch the animals." i was reminded of my son whom i lost 8 years ago who said " i will fight."

Yes, it is a cruel world that is full of love. A must-watch film, an important message.

What a beautiful movie - in all aspects. This is what being human is ultimately all about: compassion and empathy with other decent human beings.

Lo que más me conmovió fue cuando el niño dijo: "Todavía puedo ver a los animales". Me recordó a mi hijo que perdió la vida después de 10 años de lucha. Nunca escuché a mi hijo quejarse. tan a menudo personitas perfectas, viviendo entre nosotros, aguantándonos... y no tenemos idea. Mi más profundo respeto para todos los padres que están viviendo la pesadilla de un niño que no está bien.

Remarkable movie.... incredible acting and direction...just great all the way through....

So touching and thought provocative . This movie had it all, compassion, sacrifice, profound love for one’s identity, it exposed the greed of foreign investors in the developing world and their disregard for the human values of the indigenous people! Then there was Maria, going to any length to save her mother. Thanks for uploading, we need more of such movies.

This is a superior movie. It will be never get the recognition it needs, yet the raw emotions that are exemplified really made me think about the troubles people in different levels of the same area of life go through and the struggle for those who want to make the right decisions. Thank you for everyone involved with this movie. Great job!!

Es una gran tristeza que en estos tiempos dizque de gran avance tecnológico los más necesitados sigan padeciendo la ambición de los más ricos y poderosos, excelente película.

What an exquisitely crafted, heart rending film! (It's rather a shame to describe it as a thriller, drama; 'thriller' may discourage potential viewers.) The comments in response to Wood Wage are particularly touching. SPOILER ALERT: Yes, we're all aware of corporate greed as a massive, destructive global evil. Yes, we all love a story about someone taking an honourable stand. But how many of us are prepared to scrutinise ourselves when it comes to selfishness? The most appalling action in the story was that of the woman, worse still a nurse, prioritising an elderly person over a child. Unless it was an error in the plot .... Doctors and/or Codes of Medical Practice distinguish between elective procedures and emergencies. No patient or family member could prevail against ethical practice. Nonetheless, this beautiful film will remain in my heart forever!

such a good movie, deep, clever, touching, reflecting sad realities. Excellent actors. The long moments of silence are worth more than hours of speech.

The producers, the script writer and the actors, they all deserve Oscar. A reflection of the world at present in a nutshell.

great movie , well worth the watch , all farmers /land owners should watch this ! don't let big biz buy your freedom

Now I know why the boys father was crying after hearing what the boy said about he could still watch the animals and the father was crying because he knew he signed his land away and his son wouldn't be able to watch the animals

This films consists of good actors and cinematography.. I love it and feels that love conquers, even in times of adversities and poverties.. Viva Peruvian!!!ACE

Soy peruana en este momento de crisis político me conmueve 😭 Si así sería terminaría como esta historia seria otro el resultado, no es así, lo saquean todo no hay una empresa peruana de gran minería todos son del extranjero Canadá hasta el petróleo... Aún sigo preparándome para ver crecer a mi país, la generación que viene con otra mentalidad, solucionemos estos problemas de negocio... Respetar a todo nos hace humanos...

Omg! Thankyou for Uploading this Film it realy Touches my Heart and drops some Tears.. This is not only a Film this this a Reality life of So many People living in Poverty..

No mamen está con madre esta película, ¿Cómo no la vi antes? un 10 al director, productor, todos los trabajadores y a los actores, especialmente a Stephen Dorff que lo he visto en muchas películas pero en esta hizo un papel memorable.

I spent my childhood in Peru and Bolivia. My father built houses to give to the poor for free. Earthquake proof. For a small non profit. There were often greedy American vultures trying to get the limited funds Dad had to work with. He would take them on a long road trip into the Yungas, and lose them there. Vultures went home and left him alone. Makes me very sad about money, conflict and lack of care for humanity today. Not feeling hopeful for the world in 2024. The worst flaw of our species still prevails over beautiful ordinary people.

A contract teared apart as a symbol of a human conscience. *Great*

It has always come down to this in history when ever shrewd businessmen acquiring land for profit are motivated by greed rather than human values. Seeing how the buyer of the land in this movie made his offer to the residents by promising them better earnings and a better way of life for them if they sold to him and later on in the movie noticing that he had no intention of keeping his promise for their well-being made his closing statement towards the end of the movie totally redundant when the man said that he was shrewd but that he would never ever take a human iife (kill anyone), when in fact he was being shrewd by choosing his words to furthering his business efforts in obtaining control of the desired land.

Lifes always comes first before wealth. Anyway the man whos supposed to buy has a good heart and rich people as like father itself. This was great movie. Thank you

Beautiful story line it's just amazing how this movie throws light on every aspect of life and good news here, the signed paper agreeing to sell his land was giving back to him. what a great movie!

Stephen Dorff is an underrated Hollywood actor. In my own opinion, he always get the character in every film he does. This is one of the films by which he nailed the character of a hedge fund banker named Oliver. Kudos!

This was a great movie ... all about choice and the responsibilities and outcome of those choices. all lessons to learn and grow.. thankyou for this gem.

Would you believe that I woke up this morning contemplating an offer to invest in Gold? He had made me feel poor and that this opportunity would be a good use for the last of my inheritance. It's 30 below outside, my hot water doesn't work, my kitchen needs drywall and my floor is cement. I decided to watch a movie, any movie to take my mind off these troubling thoughts for a short while. The Debt, advertised as a Thriller caught my eye. Hardly a Thriller. More like a documentary. The grinding poverty that so much of the world lives in humbled me. The lust for Gold, for riches that hardens people's hearts angered me. This world is in deep, deep trouble and it isn't from a threat on democracy or from gun laws or even from covid. It's Greed. It' all about greed.

I simply agree with all the comments -from all over the world watchers ! Also agree about freeing people in that land from all they suffer -such as acquiring a leg for the young boy ! And -yeah: think the gem should have been sent to the farmer, the land owner, só that all the changes -so needed- would start over ! Thanks for the uploading, congrats to the cast, theme and everything. Greetings and best wishes from Brazil, Belém city, state of Pará☆

How hearts can be melted when the wickedness is exposed. Love always triumphs.

A rare, brilliant, humane movie...great achievement...congratulations to all who created this movie...!!

Here we have a perfect example of the work of Allah/God, and the work of the Devil at the same time. This movie is a masterpiece of itself, where we can see how different people get affected with the difficult choices of Life. In between what is good and bad or if self interest should be our goal or have a deeper look on the whole perspective/picture. It has put me in thought after watching this Movie, and even put me in tears while watching it. That moment where Maria is standing at that door, and see how her in one part selfishness decision made the life of a young boy verry difficult. A father who is sitting there broken down in tears cause he finally made a choice which maybe could have destroyed the whole future of his family for the sake of his Son. And then there is Maria who feels guilty of he choice, and on top of that she has to pay the price to face the father in person. Every single one of them learned a lesson in theirs lives. And that sometimes the choices we make should not be for us, but for the sake of good the bigger picture and not for our own satisfaction/greed/wellbeing. Even with writing this now i have left out so many other details which makes this Movie so good. So many angles where you can take a look on as a human being and learn from. it really put me in a state of thinking about myself, my own life my own choices and if they are made sometimes out of selfishness.... No really this Movie has allot of work and efford behind of it, more than many people maybe can even imagine

randomly came across this movie im a 42 yr old father who has just been cryin my eyes out dont tell no one . what a gr8 film shout out to the writers and actors especially that little kid .

All the beautiful comments make the producer of this beautiful movie, PROUD AND WE ARE GIVEN HIM AN OSCAR, THE WHOLE HUMANITY IS GIVEN YOU AN OSCAR. WE LOVE YOUR PRODUCTION.

What a sad ending! He loved and lost his son and got rewarded at the end. In real life why are some rich people so greedy?! You already have everything...be content of what you have.

What a movie! The story, the acting just superb 👌

Qué gran película. Cuando la enfermera dijo "estoy cansada de esperar", mostró las consecuencias de la impaciencia y de no considerar el dolor y las necesidades de los demás. Había mucho que aprender de esta película, especialmente sobre la codicia de las grandes corporaciones.

Excellent film ... all around from story, acting, direction and cinematography! Everyone who watched gives this a "perfect score". Thanks. Wish real life was more like this. I can hope?

How the Will of God´s moves the people to do Justice!!!! Great message in the movie😪

Una película basada en la realidad de nuestro Perú con más educación en cada hogar podemos mejorar nuestra patria

Extraordinary film production. The realities of big shrewd corporate industries. The lives that are affected by poverty - the struggles and various dilemma's that push individuals to choose - in the midst of the repercussions.

Great movie, very emotional. Showing the lengths people will go to when they're desperate. Wonder why he didn't explain to the father that there was gold on the land though.

Beautiful acting and a lovely story that touches the heart strings

Amazed how touching this movie was! Kudos to the producers and writers.

Wow! One of those films that comes out of nowhere and hits you in the guy. Steven Dorff is one of those great unsung actors, the whole cast is great. Oliver did the right thing in the end. Excellent movie, very moving, thanks YT for providing this

There was something about this movie that kept me watching for I was confused at first. I’m so pleased I did. It is a little gem.

Tragedy ... the man was good for his word... what a story, what film, what great acting and directing..

There are connections in the strangest ways!. A good movie, worth the watch

This movie hits at the heart of kindness for the love. The father has for his son, and what he is willing to give up.

To my Freedmen/Foundation Black Americans just 5 minutes into this movie it is majority Spanish speaking movie now I must go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of twists and turns. In the end, it all comes together. Very well done. Worth the watch.
