Zion

A great bitesize documentary following an incredible athlete. Straight to the point, factual without too much emotional manipulation, and a good subject. It's brevity would make it more appealing to an audience not interested in long-winded sports documentaries. Succinct and impressive.

The content and quality of cinematography in this brief film help to provide the viewer with the most accurate perspective of it's protagonist. The film by being brief chooses to focus on Zion's heroic-like figure. Though he was born with no tissue beneath his abdomen, and he likely has undergone numerous surgeries, and so many other things that could fill this documentary with content, the producer chose to focus on the successes and the reality of who this man is. Zion is not defined by his body, his situation, or what he can do, but it seems clear that he defines himself by what God sees in him. This story is not a religious one per se, but it has a clear message of strength that is rarely ever seen in the average human will. Zion is a champion, and he is fearfully and wonderfully made. Please don't allow the misguided ratings to dissuade you from being gifted by the 11 minutes of this film.

Awesome inspiring short film, wish it was a bit longer.

I must admit that I was amazed to see that the video would take just under 12 minutes. I believe that this is one of the reasons why the story does not impact as much as it could.

Obviously, Zion is an example of overcoming and we realized that, but if it were possible to know more about his past, the current adoption and better understand how he got involved in the fight, the production would touch the viewer's heart much deeper.

However, the good thing about this short duration is that you can take advantage of any break at work or college to check out a story that will inspire you for the rest of the day.

A brief bibliographic documentary that could cause more impact if it were more extensive, but the determination and willpower of the protagonist whose name is the title of the production inspires despite the reduced time.
