Love Goes Public

While rough around the edges, I found this to be a fairly compelling documentary on love, healing, and leadership. Principal Sullen was just a huge light to her high school and she showed the evidence that prayer and love really work. I wished we focused on her more. We also got to hear about the impact of a para-church organization that ministered to the high school and the stories of some of the students. They weren’t as compelling and the filmmakers didn’t quite make me empathize with them as much but overall this was a good documentary.

Love Goes Public outlines the inspiring story of Brelinda Sullens, a principal who used tough love to change two failing schools. The student's stories are captivating and their lives obviously impacted because of Brelinda. I would definitely recommend this documentary as it is timely, educational, and full of hope.
