"e’Lollipop" is the extraordinary story of two inseparable South African children, Tsepo and his orphaned friend Jannie. Jannie is sent to a missionary station in Tsepo’s village where they become best friends as Jannie finds his place in his new home. Life is full of childhood fun and antics until tragedy strikes: Jannie, now 10 years old, is seriously injured. In the face of much adversity, Tsepo and his community pull together so that Jannie can get specialised medical treatment. A daunting challenge lies ahead... At what cost will Jannie survive? Tsepo and Jannie’s inspirational story unfolds against the breathtaking backdrops of a dramatic African landscape and New York City in the mid-1970s. "e’Lollipop" is a life-changing story that reminds us of the true value of friendship, community, sacrifice and family - despite our color or creed.

Reviews
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
veeliscious E-Lollipop was the first film I ever saw, aged 8, that made me cry over a human's death - before that it was only an animal's death that I ever cried at or cared about and has haunted me ever since. The film reached inside a part of me and touched my emotions so deeply to make me cry at injustice and what one human will do for another, despite obstacles and stigma - the devoted and loyal bond between the two boys clearly had a profound impact on me at such a young age as ever since then,I've constantly thought - what was that film? why is it never talked about like other classics? why has no one I ask ever heard of it? Why can't I buy it? I gave up. So at last, having googled it just now, I see that my memories of it are correct - and I see at last that it does indeed have a following (still don't know how to buy a copy!)and yes, I think all children, and adults of course, should have an opportunity to see it - I didn't know or remember that it was about Apartheid - or that it was based in South Africa, but I knew that it was about standing up for what is right, justice, love and loyalty,respect and consideration for all and to look for the beauty within EVERY person - values which I have carried ever since. Quite a remarkable impact for a film to have on a child so young, wouldn't you say?
gordonjunior10 I saw this movie as a young child my mother made me watch it. It left me with the feelings of no room for discrimination. The length's at which a child will go through for a friend. The young are so pure at heart and this film really reflects that idea. I am not to sure if I would watch it depressed. The movie portraits abuse and death. But above all there is plenty of unconditional love. I am currently looking for a copy to share with my children. I feel that every generation could learn a few things from this film. This movie was uplifting and left a very big impression on me, as I stated before I was young and yet I still remember it.
jilabel I saw this movie in school of all places, when I was about 9 or 10 years old, and I will never forget it. The adventurous story of these two boys takes you into places you normally don't see in a typical "kids" film. Sometimes scary, sometimes touching, it's very heartfelt and REAL. No schlock here. I'll always remember it.
hmilerty This is one of the best kept secrets regarding films I have ever seen. The story is a must for both children and adults alike and clearly and quite beautifully illustrates the brotherhood of mankind.I urge all people to see this film, I saw the film when I was 7 and it's memory has never left me since.
