We could have never imagined the magic inside the doors of the I Promise School that preached the philosophy, "We Are Family." As cynical New Yorkers, we were a little cautious about it. By the time we left 2 years later, we had tears in our eyes having embraced their philosophy, truly feeling like #WeAreFamily💫

Trump successfully suppressed the film for 25 years, until 2015 when it was finally released online.
