    Background

    The film "Ordinary Angels" is based on a remarkable true story that highlights the power of community and the human spirit. It revolves around the real-life events that took place in a small town, where a group of individuals came together to achieve something extraordinary.

    The Real Story

    In the late 1990s, a small community was faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge. A young girl in the town was in desperate need of a liver transplant, and her family was struggling to find the means to afford the procedure. The situation seemed dire, and the family was losing hope.

    The Community's Response

    Moved by the family's plight, a local woman named Meg Tilly decided to take action. She rallied the community, organizing fundraisers and events to gather the necessary funds for the transplant. Her efforts inspired others to join the cause, and soon, the entire town was involved in the mission to save the young girl's life.

      • Local businesses donated proceeds from sales.

      • Schools held charity events.

      • Individuals contributed whatever they could afford.

    Thanks to the collective efforts of the community, the family was able to secure the funds needed for the transplant. The young girl received the life-saving surgery and made a full recovery, a testament to the power of unity and compassion.

    A socially active hairdresser with an alcohol addiction helps a sullen widower save his gravely ill daughter. Looking at the reviews, I thought it would be something truly remarkable, but in reality, it’s a fairly ordinary film in its genre. The only notable thing is that it’s based on real events.

    A good story about a woman who achieved her goal and was able to help a family with a single father. It’s unexpected to see Alan Ritchson playing a modest and inconspicuous guy with a mustache. It’s not always easy to play jocks in action films.

    A very touching and heavy film, handkerchiefs are recommended when watching, I don’t understand why such a cool film wasn’t dubbed.
