People who are into emotional touching films like, The Drop Box by Brian Ivie would have to say it’s the perfect documentary.

Jong Rank Lee, a Pastor and father from South Korea started his own orphanage. Lee walked past a trash can and found a baby’s dead body who had recently died, and if he were to find him just a few minutes before, he could have saved him.

Due to that incident he was inspired to start an orphanage, but for babies who were not wanted by their mothers for whichever reasons. Lee made a drop box window connected to his house where women could leave their babies. He didn’t expect many people to use it, but he would get a baby almost every night or sometimes even twice a night. Lee never rejected any baby boy or girl, he just treated them like one of his own.

The Drop Box targets people of all ages, young and old. Anyone can connect to this film. Babies get abandoned by their parents all the time. It’s either because the child has a mental illness or their mothers cannot support the child and they don’t have any help. Many people of all ages come and help Lee with all the children by cleaning diapers to just playing with them. They all feel sorry for them and help in anyway possible.

Jong Rank Lee is also the father of Ruri, who is his youngest son that wants to keep his father’s orphanage going when he gets older. Eun-Man is the oldest son who has down syndrome and Lee and his wife have to care for him daily. This film also covers 8+ orphans that he received and adopted throughout the movie.

The message that the director is trying to send is to not take things for granted. You may think you have a hard life but there are many people who have it worse. This film shows this message by showing the viewers how many babies Lee received, what some of the people had to say, and how the orphans lived.

This film was very emotional and touching, it may make audiences cry. The film does a good job focusing on the main idea throughout the whole documentary, and will keep audiences engaged. This film is recommended to anyone and everyone that’s willing to see it.
