    Inspiration!!

    This documentary was very inspiring for the past, today, and future generations! It was that if a person just believe and have a little faith. They will be able to do what God put them on this earth to do. I like how Freddie told his story, added more perspective of other people's views and experiences! There is always someone going through the exact thing you are going through. This film should be use as a teaching tool in middle and high schools, especially amongst athletes. Like Freddie said... He may not be able to touch everybody, but if I touch one. That's all he needs. Freddie continue sharing your purpose and gifts with others. Thank you!

    A Little Lift

    Freddie Stevenson's inspirational book Trials to Triumph heads to the big screen. It's the tale of the highs and lows of Stevenson's life and a reminder that everyone stumbles from time to time, but it is how we rise again that matters. It's such a powerful and strong film with testimonials from famed individuals who believe in Stevenson's message. Give your heart a little lift and spend some time watching this movie with your family.

    TRIALS TO TRIUMPH was directed by Dan Ratner, Greg Romano, and Misa Garcia. This inspirational documentary based on Stevenson's Best-Selling memoir features interviews with Freddie Stevenson, Maurice Benard, Dasia Torres, Neno Torres, Tyrell Lyons, Tony Gaskins, Dr. Dan Ratner, Delvin Breaux, Terris Stevenson, Sylvia Stevenson, and Ryan Green. It was produced by Dan Ratner, Greg Romano, and Freddie Stevenson.

    Inspirational

    Thank you for sharing your story. This film will show you that it doesn't matter where you start, all that matters is where you're going. Everyone's path will not be the same. Freddy's path was not traditional but he was able to make the most of it. His book trial to triumph was extremely inspirational and the film was no less. I recommend this film to all athletes. Your plan may not go as you originally intended, but with grit, hard work and perseverance you just never know where you will end up. I want to thank Freddy and all of the athletes that were featured for sharing their stories. I'm glad I gave it a watch.

    AMAZINGLY REAL

    This is a great film. If you need to be inspired about life then watch. It has inspired me to do better for my family and friends. The most surprising part was all the different struggles everyone had. Each person was real about those struggles, too. When things were going wrong they told you about it. After that, how they decided what they did to make things different. The message was so powerful my wife and I couldn't stop watching it. This film is great for all ages. Whenever I get the chance to show more people I will definitely make sure it is done. I'm already making time to watch it again.

    Inspirational

    Wow! This film is every bit of impactful for anyone doubting themselves or wanting to give up. I love how it's raw and uncut ; you feel like your sitting across from the speakers as they tell their story. Freddie overcame adversity but never strayed to far from Gods light and it shows throughout the film. I recommend this film to everyone and you won't be able to turn your gaze off it from start to finish! He's a humble guy and football was always his passion from the beginning. They're are stories from his teammates he played with at Florida state and perspectives from mental health psychologist.
