Glad we saw it!
The film follows several articulate and charming characters on a memorable quest, while teaching the audience about the devastating orphan disease, Friedrich's ataxia. While it is an extraordinarily emotional film, the story is told with compassion and humor. The lack of self pity is both inspiring and challenging, and the production takes the audience for an incredible ride. The fact that The Ataxian has won audience awards at several film festivals attests to the fact its message is one we can all relate to: The young people in the film dwell on what they have, not what has been lost; and they are trying to help others. The film does a great job of telling their story, and most in the audience seem to leave the theater uplifted, grateful, and teary-eyed.
A powerful inspirational documentary film!
I saw this film at a private screening in Seattle. What a treat to be one of the first groups to see this incredible work.
The production,the cinematography and the music are exceptional. The film tells the story well of the journey undertaken by a team of athletes.
If you get the chance to see The Ataxian, you should not miss it. It will make you smile, feel intense emotion for the challenges some young people face.
Most of all it will fill your heart with love and hope.
I can't wait for this film to hit the big screen and be available for the world to see.
just plain beautiful!

Wow!!!
Extremely Inspirational Film.
Saw this film at a private screening in Athens, GA and I was blown away. It was an honor to meet Kyle Bryant.
Great documentary that will make you laugh and cry multiple times in 70 minutes.
Right now the film is only showing at festivals and private screenings.
If it is showing near you go see it right away...you wont be sorry.
I have two friends stricken with FA which was my reason for going to the film in the first place. This film teach you about the disease and and organization FARA. Beyond that it inspires you to be a better person. There are so many positive messages in this move that I will go back and watch it time and time again. The soundtrack is also very good. I hope it will be released as well

Awesome
What a great movie. Inspirational and motivational. When God gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Incredible testiment to human spirit. Amazing story.
Awesome and inspiring movie. Had the chance to meet Kyle and Sean and they are as cool, funny, well spoken, positive, crazy and inspiring in real life as they are on camera. Ten years after this ride, they are still cycling and working to increase awareness of FA. Highly recommend!
