A must watch documentary. The stories were so inspiring & emotional... The journey these individuals have gone through is extraordinary.
THIS Docu was extremely engaging. Loved the weaving in of historical context throughout with old footage testifying and linking the STILL forbidden controversial discourse that our modern society refuse to have, in addressing children and adults with disabilities. With a needed dose of humility for everyone, This Docu awakens the humanity in all of us, reminding everyone that none of us is perfect and we are all Superheroes. It reminds me of the Scripture in Corinthians which implores you to remember that each and every one of us was born with a UNIQUE Gift from The Almighty, and we should NOT focus on what is impossible, but lean towards that Gift from God and you will be exceptional. Never let what you are unable to do, Overshadow what you Can Do. This Docu reminds me of the Power in ME, The Power I DO Have!!! Engaging, Uplifting and Superbly Inspirational!! Support the Paralympics👍👍
This was SOOOOO good! I have not noticed it on my Netflix home page. In fact, I had to do a name search to find it on Netflix. I actually noticed it on the "More Like This" section on IMDB after rating My Octopus Teacher. Wow! I am so glad that it was there! I haven't ever watched the Paralympic Games, but I am just as excited to see them next year. I am actually more excited to see them than the Olympic Games. This documentary was so touching. I absolutely loved it!
Honestly? Just watch it, look at these inspiring people, their strength and unbreakable believe in their own and societies abilities. 100% Oscar worthy.
