Thanks, buddhuu!

McGrath, yes, I agree...great summation. I read an interview of Jill Scott in which she spoke about making the series and learning to act to the part of Precious. I was impressed by her obvious dedication to her craft and to the directors, as well as the character. The day she was supposed to fly to Botswana, she found out she was pregnant after having been told all of her life she was unable to conceive! She flew out the next day after making sure it was okay with her doctors. So, she worked around morning sickness, etc. Quite interesting!

Love that music!
