Heart of Invictus

This is an observation of how giving a person a new chance in their lives, how much they can grow. It's about Military Personnel from around the world who have experienced a life altering event, some lost limbs, sense of self; and what The Invictus Games has done to help them in their lives. Harry might make a comment or appearance here or there, but it's less than ten min spread across 5 episodes. You'll root for Gabe, Na, and Jasper. You'll see the horrors of survival from Yuilia and see her daughter honor her. You'll feel for Darrell as he overcomes his anxieties. There's so many stories and moments that show a new life after war. This is a Human Interest Documentary about an organization actually doing something for our Veterans worldwide.

The real cost of war: The human beings we send to war! Veterans from all walks and countries represented! From Gabe in the US dealing with chronic pain, Na from South Korea who lost both hands, Darell from Canada dealing with anxiety, Tom in UK to Team Ukraine and Yulia aka Taira.... I have cried and laughed and been left feeling inspired!!! All the visible and invisible injuries are covered.

The images from Ukraine are compelling and powerful as it covers images from before and during the war! Despite all the Ukraine team is funny, foul mouthed (in a funny way) and the resilience and strength shines.

As Prince Harry articulates, it's been 10years and now there's lots of resources for wounded veterans which is a great thing! I am looking forward to the next Invictus game's starting September 9th.

I beg you, PLEASE do not bypass the heroic stories of these five veterans with injuries seen and unseen. No spoilers here, but if you can watch all five episodes and your takeaway is still how much you hate Prince Harry, you have a heart of stone. It can be very hard to watch but push through it. The smiles are worth it. You will laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. If you love a veteran you owe it to yourself, and them, to watch this series. I promise. It will do your heart good!

Unfortunately, a hot war rears its ugly head. The invasion of Ukraine and the impact it has on one of our heroes and her family driving home the helplessness families feel and how they too are in service to their country.

Do yourself a favor. Watch this series.

I love all these vets stories especially Gabe and Darrell's. These brave men and women are the true definition of heroes. I am so proud of them all and also the families and friends that came out and sacrificed so much to show their love and support for their love ones. Wishing all the men and women the very best of luck in the upcoming Invictus Games in Germany next month. I am hoping to see Gabe, Darrell, Tom, Na and the members of the Ukraine team in Germany so I too can be able to root for them. I am especially looking forward to see Anna and her mother as well. Sending love and prayers to you all.

Go Watch it. It is absolutely wonderful ! Watched all 5 episodes at once.

The invictus games, such a wonderful initiative, created with a sole purpose to give purpose and help those who need it and so deserve it. This heart of invictus series gives a wonderful spotlight on Taira, Gabe, Jasper, Na, Darrell, & Tom's stories.. But more general it is about how to find purpose and self worth again in life after trauma. How to slowly deal with those traumas, loss that comes with it and physical and mental disabilty and pain. While too often feeling and being unseen or ignored by society. It really is such a well made and moving docu series, all against the backdrop of the real war in Ukraine which made it even more gripping. Taira, we love you!
