About Ambassadors of Compassion:

Ambassadors of Compassion envisions millions of youth across America taking responsibility for their own lives, contributing meaningfully to the lives of those around them, and showing leadership to overcome the challenges facing their generation through the AOC Journey.

  • Hello, I am one of the students from way back then and honestly, have no idea if I'll get a response or not. I was just wondering what the name of the movie was. I remember the plotline but didn't quite catch the name which kills me because I was reminded of it the other day by a friend of mine. Now I think about it every day and if anyone can help me find it, I would be forever indebted to you I guess. Thanks.
