luckyjan-93568 The move has a lot of heart and is inspirational but more than anything, it has a place where minors who a troubled get to feel cared for and get to learn how they can make better decisions for their lives. A place where people in the same struggle can become friends and either choose to grow together or go down hill together. I think more places need institutions like these and programmes like these for the rehabilitation of troubles minors. A character in the movie got caught stealing because her parents forgot to feed her, strung up on drugs, so she was starving and stole some food. They don't have it easy and a lot of criminal-ism begins like this. These programmes help people like her. Gives them a chance to see that they have a life and a destiny and they can choose the life they want. In my opinion for some it was a safe haven. It has sad scenes but the plot was absolutely marvelous.

edwagreen Another excellent Hallmark film is depicted here. It is essentially about young women who have been incarcerated learning about themselves and to do positive things for society.As is the case with any prison, there are groups ready to repent and move on in a positive way in their lives; of course, there are the recalcitrant, those who will not adhere to society's rules no matter what.Cuba Gooding is totally sympathetic and firm as the youth counselor in the correctional facility.While the story is supposedly about girls fighting fires, it's much more than that. Two girls in particular learn what life is all about.Others might criticize the actions of the parole board here. Yet, this is their job-to be firm, and to make sure that the girls have sufficiently shown they deserve parole while making sure their lives will be positive on the outside.This is an inspirational movie for all to see.

boblipton The Hallmark Channel has a winner in this very slow-starting but finally compelling movie of how young girls redeem themselves at a Youth Correctional Facility. The movie starts out looking a lot like a standard girls in prison movie -- without the usual cheap-movie lesbian subtext -- as Q'orianka Kilcher winds up in prison and is tempted by the safety and rewards of a gang and the self-respect of joining a firefighting group. In many ways this movie is a throwback to the prison reform movies of the 1930s.Although Cuba Gooding Jr. is the big name for this movie and Ms. Kilcher the lead, the script shows us other girls, to illustrate the various choices and phases of the process. DeWanda Wise has the most interestingly written role and performs well.Although there is little out of the ordinary in this movie, its earnest good will and insistence on the basics of real story-telling -- the change of human character -- make it a superior work that made my eyes tear up towards the end.

rachealhahn I just watch this firelight TV series I LOVE THIS SHOW... It is very emotional but has a lot of good in it. I'm kinda experiencing the same thing but its my brother that is in jail.. I think this show is educational and moving.. I think this show will teach the youth. I wish this show was on when i was growing up. It shows that you are not alone no matter what and their our people that care. You have picked the best actor to fit the part of DJ, and the rest of the cast YOU GIRLS ROCK. Keep up the awesome work and making the youth of these years aware. Keep up the awesome work, I will be watching every show.. cant wait to see your girls put out that fire..... I love your show
