DVD Reviews of The Marva Collins Story
DVD Review: Marva-lous!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must-watch for just about anyone. It's a very inspiring true story that makes you want to cheer or cry or both! Watch by yourself to see what determination can produce. Watch it with your kids to show them the power of independent thinking and learning beyond the basics. And watch it with a loved one/partner to show what support for one another can bring.
For everyone, this is a marvelous example of how your beliefs shape your reality. When one woman wouldn't accept the conventional wisdom of her time and place and instead followed her own, she changed the world for countless children and their families.
Yes, this made-for-TV production is not as impressive as a full-up theater production. But passionate acting by Cicely Tyson with a good supporting cast will tug at your heartstrings and stir your hopes for the next generation. Buy it, and share it with everyone in your family!
