Comment by Astrid Meijer on June 5, 2009 at 9:09am: I am sitting in shock and deep sadness at the loss of David Cartagena. I am one of the people who were lucky enough to have known him. His relentless dry humor, genuine humility and commitment to helping our youth made an everlasting impression on me. He leaves behind an empty chasm that will be impossible to fill. This documentary is a testament and fitting memorial to his powerful & positive influence. David, thank you for the love you gave to our kids! We will continue spreading your message. Namaste.
