Go Far: The Christopher Rush Story

I just got done watching this movie and I was blown away by it. The things this man overcame were amazing to me. I don't write reviews very often, but I was compelled to give this as many stars as I could.

I cried. I cried because I never got the chance to know this man. I wish I could have, but I am thankful to God that he gave Chris a plan and Chris stuck with it. It's obvious how he touched so many people. I am going to strive to be a better person and do the best I can at everything I attempt to do.

Inspiring. Thank you Zack for persevering to make this film. I know the obstacles you faced and how difficult it was to finish. I'm sure you have made Chris proud.

I bought this movie after reading an article at Breitbart News Network. So thank you BNN for taking the time to give this the space and audience it deserves.

I'll be bringing this to my boss on Monday so she can watch it with her grandchildren. They are young enough to be positively influenced by Go Far!

We should all be so lucky to have the attitude, drive, and charisma as Christopher Rush. Some go to pieces over the smallest setback, but Christopher never stopped reaching. By any standard, Christopher is an example of reaching for the very best, but the amount of work he had to do to go as far as he did is a stunning example for all. His inspirational life reached many, near and far, and in this documentary, we have a glimpse of both his public and private life. Told in a series of picture, video, and interview with friends and family, "Go Far," helps to show that it isn't about what a person can't do, but rather what they can.

I am a pediatric home care registered nurse. I watched this film twice and was deeply inspired and impressed by Christopher, his family, friends and acquaintances and how beautiful the interweaving of this uplifting story unfolded. The value of this film in inspiring, teaching and transforming attitudes and lives is powerful and unlimited. It should be required viewing in high school, medical school, every job that serves the public including nursing schools,physical and occupational therapy schools,and rehabilitation facilities. The people in all areas and walks of life that would be enriched by viewing this film is infinite. I am taking it to my home care nursing agency to be viewed by my co- workers and office staff. Hopefully Christopher will continue to enrich peoples lives even though he has gone ahead of us leaving his legacy of love and wisdom. He has touched my heart and renewed in me the deep dignity, respect and hope our clients and their families deserve. Re-define your definition of hero. Thank you for the hard work expense that was involved in producing this truly epic film.

Go Far: The Christopher Rush Story is a beautiful film. It is both the documentary of an extraordinary person, and a reminder to all of us that everyone has a story. Getting to know the person behind the story may be more challenging when a disability is present, but the effort can be life-changing. Christopher touched people's lives as they quickly learned to look past his disability and see the compassionate, funny, intelligent person he was. He developed a system of principles to help him achieve his goals, which is explained in the film.

What I took away from the film are these reminders: Everyone has a story, and all of those stories are worth discovering; don't let anyone's disability distract you from learning to know the person; most of us are far more blessed than we care to admit or be thankful for every day; and the GO FAR principles can be implemented by any of us, no matter what obstacles we face.

While watching Burn Notice, I quickly learned that my favorite episodes had been edited by Zack Arnold. In GO FAR: The Christopher Rush Story, Zack delivers a wonderful movie about an inspirational young man, the parents and family who helped him believe in himself, friends whose lives were changed by their relationship with Christopher, and the method he used to accomplish amazing goals. I recommend this inspirational film to everyone of any age.

Thank you Zack Arnold for making this film.

You will inspire millions of people with Chris' message - from young to old, those with and without disabilities. Many people helped to make this film a reality, including myself. This film was completely funded by the donations of others who believed in the message. Every time I watch this film I tear up. In fact, anyone who watches this film should be ready with a tissue. It's not sad. On the contrary. It's heartwarming, motivational, inspirational, empowering, and full of emotion.

By watching Chris live his life to the fullest, despite his obstacles, you will be inspired to do the same. It's a great life lesson.
