Featured reviews
I am not usually one for documentaries but this one was riveting and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Although I was surprised to find myself in tears at certain times and laughing at other times. This has forever changed my mind about the Paralympics and something that I would like to attend in the future.
The challenges and successes of both the athletes and the Paralympics are wEll told in this inspirational and must see documentary.
A must watch documentary. The stories were so inspiring & emotional... The journey these individuals have gone through is extraordinary.
This was SOOOOO good! I have not noticed it on my Netflix home page. In fact, I had to do a name search to find it on Netflix. I actually noticed it on the "More Like This" section on IMDB after rating My Octopus Teacher. Wow! I am so glad that it was there! I haven't ever watched the Paralympic Games, but I am just as excited to see them next year. I am actually more excited to see them than the Olympic Games. This documentary was so touching. I absolutely loved it!
Beautifully told stories of many Paralympic competitors, as well as the story of how parasports began and the struggle the Games have faced over the years to exist. Informative, inspiring, heart wrenching!
