"Betty Anne Waters" is a touching movie based on a true story, and this fact makes the whole film even more emotional. The brother of the main character (Hilary Swank) is arrested and imprisoned. This fact prompted Betty Anne to begin a serious and long law school just to try himself to free her brother from the Prison, as it is innocent and no one else wants to help him. (The movie trailer shows more :-)
This film shows quite clearly that every person can achieve anything these days and no matter what excuses come up one or that stones are a placed in the way if the insert and the goal is high, everything is possible.
Conclusion: I have seen for years not so poignant, captivating and at the same time motivating film. The dedication with which the main character pursues her goal without paying attention to the negative opinions and obstacles, is remarkable.
Anyone who wants to know whether the years of studying helps ultimately to liberate the brother or ... should purchase this film.
Fans of dramas like "Nicholas Sparks, The Pursuit of Happyness, or My Sister's Keeper" will love this movie!
