    Fun and Inspiring

    I got to see a screening of this doc with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed it! Patrick won us both over. Such a dynamic character with a larger than life story, my girlfriend said he was like a real life Forest Gump.

    I can see how people may be skeptical of some parts of this story, but Patrick seems to be such a sincere guy who really truly cares about the wellbeing of others.

    The film is a beautiful character study that doesn't shy away from the hard questions or imperfections. We laughed out loud at a number of moments. Some of this stuff is just so out there, and Patrick is often unintentionally funny.

    Overall we found the film to be a beautiful and inspiring character study. We really enjoyed it and I'll be recommending it to a lot of friends once it's properly released.
