This is undeniably one of the most poignant and heart-touching documentaries of the year. It confronts a deeply emotional and universal truth: one day, parents may discover something unexpected in their children-a diagnosis that feels more devastating than facing their own mortality. The thought of your most precious loved one enduring a debilitating condition is one of life's most challenging tests.

For those who are not parents, it may be difficult to fully grasp the emotional depth of such a situation, and their inability to empathize might explain why some may underrate this documentary. But as someone who recognizes the profound courage it takes to navigate such trials, I see this film as a beacon of resilience and hope.

The Pelletier family, faced with an unimaginable reality and no available treatment, chose to channel their energy into creating this documentary. It's their way of doing the only thing they can-raising awareness and inspiring others in similar circumstances. Such films are more than just stories; they serve as a source of hope, a testament to human strength, and a guide for standing tall in the face of adversity.

Thank you, Pelletier family, for your bravery in sharing your journey with the world. This documentary will undoubtedly light the way for others who find themselves in similar situations. To those leaving harsh or dismissive comments: your negativity reflects more about your own struggles than the value of this incredible work. Let's focus on the strength, hope, and compassion this documentary represents.

I'm not sure if it was way the family was portrayed, or the lack of actual scenic footage, this movie did not appeal to me.

We learn about a family and that 3 of 4 children has a degenerative vision disease that will eventually rob them of their eyesight, so the parents decide to go on a journey around the world so the kids can enjoy everything in person, rather than looking at it in a book.

While the concept of this movie is appealing, the execution wasn't so great. The trailer made you expect spectacular scenery throughout, but instead we are mainly watching the kids and parents talking and playing. It essentially comes across as a home movie rather than a National Geographic production. A lot of the places they apparently visited, are glossed over, not even shown in photos.

I want to wish the family well, and I hope the proceeds of this film go towards the research for a cure, but definitely this was more suited to the small screen like on the TLC channel, than in a movie theatre.

I feel privileged to have traveled through the adventures, with this incredibly brave family!

I found the film to be awe inspiring and an emotional roaler coaster of terrifying travels to dlightful simple joys to watch, as they fulfilled each of their childens dreams.

As a parent and grandparent my heart aches for the children, as the must navigate the unknown, yet their parents have set them up in the most extraordinary way possible for their life challenges as they age and grow.

I highly recommend viewing it with your children aged 8 or above to open conversation on the complexities of life.

Wonderful family movie of wonders of traveling highs ans lows with family of young children real warm and courageous family. It brought back memories from my childhood of traveling with my family of eight. The different views of the different ages of children. Amazing parents and such love and compassion and understanding of parents. Truly a film worth watching. Having the love in this family and the preparedness of what's to come even when no one can ever really be prepared of such hardship of having four children and having three of them fall to the hereditary disorder of a genetic disorder. Missing to say if parents have the disorder only that no one in the family has this just these three children. Worth the time.

Approached this with a slightly heavy heart the moment I realized it's a documentary based on a real family and their lives.

Talking about fictional stories inspired by reality is one thing - but this right here is a lot tougher. Because you're witnessing something you'd never want to imagine for yourself, yet real people out there have actually experienced it and have strived through it with unimaginable strength.

It's a tale of parental love and family bonding - a happy family whose world comes crashing down when they find out that three of their kids are diagnosed with a serious illness.

But the parents make it their mission to give them an experience of a lifetime, fulfilling even the smallest of their dreams.

It beautifully highlights just how far our parents can go to see us happy - even in the most challenging times - while also living parts of their own dreams through us.

It's emotional, gut-wrenchingly painful, yet incredibly inspiring. And somehow, it also carries a warm, feel-good vibe - especially when you look at the kids, always excited, always smiling. It fills your heart with so much joy.

Even when they're on the verge of losing something so precious, they carry a brave spirit. And the way they hold on to their childlike innocence while developing their own kind of maturity - it's truly heartwarming to see.

A huge testament to their strength, and to the importance of having each other's back no matter what.

Left me teary-eyed, but with a smile on my face.

Definitely urge as many people as possible to watch this heartfelt, memorable tale of love, family, and adventure.
