Press

  • Hollywood Reporter
    "Thrilling and compelling...REQUIRED VIEWING"
  • Variety
    "By turns pulse-quickening and contemplative, thoroughly winning...a spectacular feat"
  • Screen Daily
    "Enthralling, Exciting"
  • Film Threat
    "A superb documentary...uplifting, life affirming, and inspiring, three words that often seem sappy and clichéd. This time, they're entirely appropriate."

    "Walker once again delivers...a joyous tribute to the fragility of life that will break you down and leave you a better person."
