In 2006, 25-year-old Jason DaSilva was on vacation at the beach with family when, suddenly, he fell down. He couldn't get back up. His legs had stopped working; his disease could no longer be ignored. Just a few months earlier doctors had told him that he had multiple sclerosis, which could lead to loss of vision and muscle control, as well as a myriad of other complications. Jason tried exercise to help cope, but the problem only worsened. After his dispiriting fall on the beach, he turned to his Mom, who reminded him that, despite his disease, he was still a fortunate kid who had the opportunity to pursue the things he loved most: art and filmmaking. Jason picked up the camera, turned it on his declining body, and set out on a worldwide journey in search of healing, self-discovery, and love.

Truly draws a clear line between courage and will against fear and despair. Highly inspiring, as were, not only the lead, but those around him. I envy the closeness and support and spirit of Indian families.

I struggled to watch this whole movie...it was not easy...I wondered why this tragic things always tend to happen to great people...happy people....talented people...and yet you have people like myself who hate there selves...beinģ miserable everydayand constantly hoping that the end of life comes soon.........its devistating knowing there are people who love life..people who deserve life,I am the complete opposite,and do not deserve it,just wasting it.......

Great! Moving!
