That's Life (2008) is a poignant documentary that revisits the lives of three children Sander Veeneman captured years ago in Mozambique, South Africa, and Peru. The tone is reflective, almost melancholic, as we witness their growth into young adulthood. The pacing meanders, allowing for moments of introspection and deeper understanding of their struggles. Themes of hope, resilience, and the stark realities of life in these regions permeate the film. It's not flashy or overproduced, which makes the rawness feel genuine. The practical effects come from the lives themselves, their environments, and the authentic interactions. It’s this grounded approach that makes the documentary resonate—it's a slice of life that feels both personal and universal.
