    A must watch!!!!

    An incredible story of what this man went through mentally and physically. Truely inspirational and a must watch for everyone.
    9kateann1027

    Inspirational True Story of a unique survival story, a MUST SEE for every human being on the planet!!!

    With a positive approach to a uniquely tragic and emotional experience, Edwardo deserves more than a humanitarian medal for his positive tenacity, gentle soul and amazing story of thriving in a situation where most people would have given up a thousands times over.

    Truly inspiring documentary!!

    I'm shocked to see some reviewers giving this a 2 rating. One person even called him arrogant!!! Eduardo is pure inspiration! I was moved to tears. It made me think of my life and how unappreciative I am of the gifts I was given. Eduardo is an awesome guy and I wish I could meet him someday and shake his hook. The production is top notch. Great music. Well told story. Even the side stories about his father, girlfriend and family are touching and interesting. Do yourself a favor and watch this...and then challenge yourself to life your life with Eduardo's passion and energy!!!

    Awe inspiring story of a human ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.

    This is a tale of one mans recovery from horrific injuries. It's a truly inspirational film - a must see for anyone who believes that THEY can't do it!

    One small aside - why does IMDBs 'Storyline' say: "..he touched a dead bear with his knife, he survived the 2400V jolt " ??

    Surprised by what this film turned out to be

    It's a film about love, dependency, life and decisions. I was surprised by what this film ended up being about.

    • Trivia
      In the scene on the river in which Eduardo and his father Manuel go fly fishing, Manuel is wearing swag from the production team's previous film, Unbranded.
    • Goofs
      At 4:14, Eduardo takes his knife out with his right hand (the holster is on his right hip), but then he touches the bear with the knife in his left hand. If Eduardo is left handed, he would have had his knife holster on his left hip.
