She is incredible. I loved this documentary it is so inspiring. She makes me laugh also.
No pun intended - maybe I should not compare them - and I actually don't. This is a documentary, but the title made me think of the Tom Hanks movie. So not the documentary or the character itself (or real person in this case).
Human beings can be incredible. We have and do witness the worst in some (ethically and otherwise speaking), but when it comes to those who did not get the best opportunities ... who had injuries, set backs, illnesses ... how do you work around that and how strong is your mind? They say mind over matter - or body in this case.
And you can take that to the bank ... and run with it, if you'll excuse another pun. This really is heartfelt - if you like stories like that ... if you have a place for real stories of incredible human beings (especially those who overcome .. so much) ... well you are about to watch the right movie for you.

This is the kind of thing that you watch and cannot stop thinking about for days afterwards. I was in tears that night after watching, just in complete awe of this incredible woman and her selfless work. Seriously touching and beautifully shot. 10/10.

Fiona is one of those persons that dedicates literally her life to a goal, hers is saving animals. She´s found a way to bring attention to her animal sanctuary by running in races and advocating to a more compassionate lifestyle. It´s amazing how her willpower has brought her so many achievements, yet her persona is not so known like other athletes that might have had "less important" results.
Truly inspiring, specially for young women, athletes and animal lovers, but truly anyone can admire this beautifully made documentary.
What an amazing, inspiring and remarkable woman. It's hard to believe the achievements Fiona Oakes has accomplished with very little publicity made about them. She should be respected and recognised for each and every one of her records as well as the unbelievable amount of time, work and dedication she shows to animals. I can't recommend this documentary enough and am in awe of this lady. Wow!
