The cast are all disarmingly funny, brutally frank, astute and incredibly wise beyond their years, and they all share one thing in common: the reality of navigating life after a cancer diagnosis.
Throughout the film the children narrate their own stories, and interview each other about their shared experiences in a manner that is engaging and relatable and packed full of the type of humour you'd expect from a bunch of typically mischievous and cheeky everyday kids.
Above all, Kids Like Us is a deeply honest and eye-opening portrayal of the reality of their lives.
