    Jason Hackenwerth's balloon art is phenomenal. I checked out his website and facebook page. Fantastic!

    Trouble Water is a must see for all, but especially those who too quickly divide the world into bad and good. The problem of evil, the human condition, the "suffering" of life, the irony of love-need, and the discovery of authentic relationship replete with compassion, acceptance, and divine joy.

    The story is neither complex nor contrived. It is well told. No odd turn is wasted, but all things work together to complete this profound good. We are not asked to live differently, not asked to redouble our efforts to be good. Rather, Director Poppe's is for the viewer. Take heart, your redemption is near.
