“This documentary was one of the most heart-felt and endearing movies I have ever seen. Life’s beauty and simplicity of purpose is easily lost in today’s self-indulgent world. To see the people in the documentary face real adversity head-on and find strength and hope through difficulty hits at the core of humanity and our need to serve others and make life’s challenging journey with the utmost of dignity, love and hope. I am truly thankful and humbled in viewing such a beautiful documentary.”

“A film of laughs, a film of tears…a film of hard knocks. Lessons taught and lessons learned. Achievements, motivations dreams and desires. Everyday people with some of the most heart I have ever seen. From the talents in art, music, and yes, even a quick witted remark to bring a chuckle, is truly a gift. All of these people gave me a gift today. I Thank You All!”

“A brilliant film! As a university student, I believe that this film really embraces philosophy as it should be: a conversation. This film teaches that it is not the depth of which one can think about the universe, but rather the breadth of ideas with which one can contain that trully makes a difference. Thank you so much!”
—Jeffrey D. Parrish
