I just left the theater in Hamilton, New York where I watched this film. I think every young person at the beginning of their adult lives should watch this film. It helps people to see the deeper meaning of life that the Reeve family is able to capture and encapsulate by sharing their journey as a family. Recognizing the fragility of life early is a hard truth but it is also an empowering one. It allows you to recognize that that we are all here briefly, and we need to use this time wisely. I thought it was important that at the end Christopher Reeve recognizes that all of the physical activities are not as important as the time spent connecting with the people in one's life with meaningful conversations. He and Dana understood what should be priorities. This film also allows us to see the big picture when it comes to research and human possibilities and limitations. It provides hope.

Thank you to the filmmakers and to the family. I only learned about this on the Sunday morning show, and rushed to see it. I don't think enough people have heard about it yet. I am certain word will spread. It's the best documentary I've ever seen, and one of the best films I've ever watched.
