I am Sam

One of my favorite movies is I am Sam. This movie is about a mentally challenged father who goes against the odds and raises a child. However, when the authorities find out he is raising a child, they take the girl away from him. They believe that the daughter has exceeded the fathers IQ level and this is unacceptable in their eyes. The movie shows his journey to get his daughter back. In a way this movie is happy but just everything that Sam has to go through makes me really sad. How can you take a happy child away from a father who tries his best to raise her. If they were really looking for what was in the best interest of the child then they would have never taken her away.
