    Awesome

    What a great movie. Inspirational and motivational. When God gives you lemons, make lemonade.

    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

    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!

    Amazing video, inspirational...tear jerker!

    About 7 years ago I relocated the CrossFit location we are at today, CrossFit King of Prussia (200 DeKalb Street in Bridgeport Pa)...about three years later this young man named Kyle Bryant contacted me about joining...in 2012 CrossFit.com made this video https://youtu.be/rHlC1W9r704 and tonight, I had the honor of watching The Ataxian. How would you react to a life debilitating and fatal illness? "The Ataxian" shows the world that it is possible for one man to take action and change a community and world. I'm not only humbled to know this man, but honored to touch his hand, tell him he is handsome and have helped him do a few squats along the way. The courage and mindset Kyle has is one which I have learned from and continue to grow. Thank you sir for teaching me yet another lesson in life. I will do what I can to raise money and #cureFA

    and the movie...these guys did an AMAZING job...I wish I had a venue to share this with everyone. There is so much heart in this film, love, caring and dedication. Bring your tissues. You will leave wanting more.

    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!
