It's triumphalism all the way, with eyes on the prize and no thought given to the daily struggle many face just to stay alive.

This documentary was beautifully designed and directed. The 105 minute run time packs in more than expected while keeping the viewer interested.

This is just an extraordinary documentary. It covers the history of the Paralympic Games, and it does so from a historical perspective and a very intimate profile of several athletes... These stories are so inspiring.
