    Inspirational

    Possibly one of the most humbling things I've ever watched in my life. As somebody who lives with pain this really is humbling, this gentleman is an inspiration to everyone. I think this should be made compulsory for all kids to watch because it just shows that attitude is everything. David Holmes is an inspiration!

    Very touching documentary

    A very touching documentary that makes you respect stuntmen a whole lot more.

    You never think about how many stuntmen actually do all the dangerous stuff you see in screen in this day of cig animations. The amount of skill, training and effort that takes to get this level of fitness and competence.

    Imagine being an actor earning millions, and stuntmen that risk their lives to make said actors look cool and earn all those millions of dollars, make such a little cut of all of it. They are very under-appreciated and I wonder what we could do to improve their standards of reward.

    Stuntmen are awesome.

    Incredible Story inside a larger story

    I found it incredibly inspiring. I have spinal issues myself and I believe I've found who I need to model my attitude and struggle after. And I'm forty seven. Thank you David Holmes. You are a special souls and have clearly helped those near and dear to you whether you know it or not. Watching your story tonight helped me a great deal. So thanks for sharing your life & friends with the world. This documentary will do special things for those struggling out there with traumatic injuries and large life challenges. I'm so glad to see the former Harry Potter cast mates you bonded with are still around.

    Wow!

    It hit me harder than I expected. I don't really get tearfull but bloody hell, tears in my eyes for a good part of this. What a guy David is, plus all his mates are such a nice bunch of lads. As always Dan Radcliffe comes across a really nice bloke. I would recommend this, although it's not necessarily an easy watch, but definitely worth it it, it makes you think about how fragile the human body is and a neck injury is just a terrible thing to happen, and I tell you what, a lot of people wouldn't have coped with it as well as Dave did, so there is a lot to be admired from him. Again like I said it hit me quite hard.

    Well Produced

    A fascinating dive into the tragedy that happened to David Holmes. The documentary is well-produced and packed with interesting information. It's also full of hope and optimism, especially from David.

    The story is especially sad when you look at Greg and others on the set. The fact that they carried on, is a feat in itself. What Marc and Tolga have been able to do after the completion of the films is incredibly admirable.

    Seeing the support of everyone in the Harry Potter cast, especially those like Tom Felton and the Weasleys, is something to marvel at.

    Well worth the watch, even with the 20+ F-bombs.
