When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Poverty has been a big issue since humanity has started. Four young college students go to Guatemala city over the summer to get the experience of living on one dollar each day. The documentary discusses how families fight for survival. Different locals are interviewed from all ages to talk about how they manage to live or make money under tough conditions. Many heartwarming and tragic stories were told. Living On One Dollar is suitable for every person that wants to learn something new and get motivated to help those in need. The families were so welcoming and kind to the students even though they didn't have much to offer. The world would be a much better place if everyone started loving and respecting each other. Overall, the documentary is inspiring, eye-opening, and pure.

Having traveling and worked in Guatemala for the past 5 years, I was amazed at how real and compelling this film was. It's not often that someone can truly capture the heart behind what it's like to live in poverty, but these 4 brave, young men did a fabulous job bringing it to life. Our 4 children were all inspired and went away wanting to do something to help alleviate poverty. They began selling beaded key chains made by the women of Guatemala and in just one week, they collected over $450. They were so excited to go to www.mayanfamilies.org and purchase water filters so kids wouldn't have to drink from the dirty pipe anymore. Great job guys! Thanks for helping us all to see the heart behind the courageous people who live this way everyday.

This was a film project that will forever impact and change the lives of the four young men that took the chance to fulfill this project. Reading over the reviews whoever rates this negatively I say to you "uhm, and when was the last time you tried this??" This was an earnest, brave approach, well thought out and done with best of intentions. I believe they have figured out what it takes to live on one dollar a day in one of the poorest countries. The filming was well done (visually gorgeous), you can see the emotion in all of the faces, the families are well represented and I really hope Chico, Rosa , Anthony and the their families continue to do well. This in NOT about "privileged young white boys" or saving "poor foreigners" this is about rolling up your sleeves and seeing the issues where they are. GOOD JOB GUYS and thank you taking the chance to do this.

This movie is absolutely remarkable. It opens the eyes of viewers to look past the place that they live and realize that even on your hardest day, you can still have it better than others. I absolutely loved it the first time I watched it, and the 4 times after that as well. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I may not be able to change the entire world but if I can just change one person's world that is good enough for me and I want to spend the rest of my life doing so. Thank you for the inspiration and a view of true humanity. God Bless everyone involved in the production of this film. Sincerely,A 15 Year Old Viewer
