Very upbeat and well paced. Very engaging. You want to see more of after it is over. The character development is outstanding, particularly for a documentary. The kids are fun and really invite you into their lives. We follow Joy and her friends from their first audition and later watch them on tour with Circus Smirkus. We learn how difficult circus life is and watch each of these kids flourish and become part of a whole and ultimately, wholly themselves.
Offers an extraordinary window into the only traveling youth circus in the United States and tells a heartwarming story about kids digging deep to pursue their passion. Immerses viewers into the lives of these kids, capturing their intense work ethic, passion for performance, deep friendships and budding loves.
