    Filled with Heart and Compassion

    When reading about the synopsis of this film, I was curious to see what it was about and was pleasantly surprised. What I really appreciated is that there is a voice given to the Native American community and also to those with physical/mental disadvantages. The two main characters have something in these areas and they use their strengths together to make big changes.

    I loved the message that if you have a drive, a vision and a dream; that you can make big things happen. It starts in our imagination and if we have the courage to step outside of our comfort zones and take chances, our dreams will become a reality.

    There was humor as well and little notes of romance which were a cherry on top for me. More people should watch this movie. Highly recommend!

    Inspirational film true to life

    I loved the storyline and casting of the characters non-traditional white and storytelling about real issues happening in the USA today.

    I also loved that writer.took a different approach to what one might do to make a statement about an issue or.problem.

    This is a new type of genre "solution based" a total diffetent.type of approach in storytelling.

    I am looking forward to next film topic being told on screen in this genre.

    I loved the whole movie almost made me cry and made my heart tug!

    Another new approach to trailers the producers developed was using VR technology as a trailer to the.film.

    Innovative, Inclusive, and Inspirational

    From the very first frame, it's evident that this isn't your conventional blockbuster. In a world saturated with explosive action sequences, looming apocalyptic scenarios, and formulaic storylines, this film emerges as a bright star, illuminating a path of hope, innovation, and inclusivity.

    The narrative centers on a protagonist with disabilities - a brave and novel choice in cinema. Instead of using the character's challenges as a plot device for pity or melodrama, the movie uses them as a lens of inspiration, reminding us of the untapped potential in all of us. The challenges that one might think would hinder Lee's character, only augment his unique perspective and abilities.

    Amidst its serious undertones, the film surprises with humor, ensuring an engaging, heart-warming journey. Lee's journey is seeking solutions and making the world a better place.

    While devoid of the high-octane special effects that typically draw audiences, the film is captivating in its simplicity and authenticity. Scenes are crafted not to shock, but to resonate. The film is a gentle nudge toward positivity and possibility, and a great example of what the persons making decisions for our country (or any country) should be focused on.

    To summarize, this film breaks the mold, choosing to inspire rather than entertain. It's a testament to the power of storytelling, driving home the idea that even in the face of adversity, with the right perspective, we can find solutions and uplift those around us. A must-watch for those seeking a refreshing, different, and thought-provoking cinematic experience. Dive in and let yourself be moved by a film that's genuinely different.
