film details screenings reviews

Based on the best-selling novel by acclaimed author Karen Kingsbury, Like Dandelion Dust is a compelling drama that explores the different meanings of being a parent through the grittily realistic lives of the struggling, blue-collar Porter's, and the privileged Campbell family. Their lives intersect, intertwine and collide, all for the love of a little boy. This character-driven story bravely exposes the humanity in each role and reminds us that we each have the potential to be the best and worst versions of ourselves at any time.

Heartland Film Content Key: AT (Contains Adult Themes, not of interest to young children), A/D (Mild alcohol or drug use), V (Implied violence and mild peril)

Rated 5.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 cindyfromindy 5:49 AM		Very incredible performances. A sad story and one we all know exists. Hopefully others can come to the brave conclusion that this had. Kleenex factor is at least a two maybe more if this subject rings a bell with your family.
