Holes is an incredible film, based on the feel good book by Louis Sachar. It is about a group of boys that have been send to Camp Greenlake a, a juvenile detention centre for troubled youth. Each of the characters we meet have their own rough story, some stories we don't find out until Sachars "small steps" . The story, especially surrounding Kate Barlow has a strong moral against racism, once again proving what is right and wrong. The fact that the story has two parts to it really gets your imagination going as you put yourself in the main characters positions. Holes is a brilliant film that everyone will enjoy, of course drama is included, i mean, this isn't the girl scouts!
