Director Statement

Meeting the people who appear in this film taught me that they have a special ability to see life, and listening to their stories of resilience was a gift of hope, inspiration, and purpose and made me appreciate the world and life in a different way. My greatest satisfaction would be that the people who see it receive that same gift.
