On Saturaday March 21, I went to the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, went to see a movie call, “Children of invention.” Children of invention tell a story about two children left to live alone in a abandon house. Their mom was lock up in jail for a selling scheme, and it never show their dad because he was in China.

I really like to movie, very inspiring, seeing how kids can do a lot with their imagination.
Even without and adult around,they founded ways to keep going, take action without any parent, define what it mean to hustla.

The story is about two kid, brother 10 year old and little sister 7 year old, that live with their mom. They was kick out their house because mom didn’t have enough money to pay rent. Mom who work at two job as sell person, selling house and and products (them people that goes house to house selling stuff, like vacuum, knives and other). She was selling product for this white women, after all the sell the women left the state with all the money and no product was sent out to the buyer, which then the Law came a arrest all the people that was involve, including the mom.
The kids didn’t Know this happen because they was at school, but they understated that their mom work hard everyday and some night she don’t come home. Mom didn’t come back for more then three night, kids became sad and mad they thought there mom left them. With that big bro took action and with the skill he learn from watching his mom sell stuff, he start to invent his own item, one he call the noodle spinner. whit his inventvion his wish to make a million dollar and big their old house back, which they hope their mom will come back and dont have to work no more.

It is hella good, emotional, funny, and all the good stuff, I give this movie two thumb ups.
