The film brings to life a powerful story of resilience, survival, and waging the toughest battles life might throw someone’s way. The protagonist of this non-fiction narrative is Myles Berrio, a survivor of a near-fatal accident that cost him two of his limbs.

However, refusing to buckle down, he came back at life with an even more fierce spirit, downright refusing to merely be a survivor. In Berrio’s own words, he found a way to thrive, irrespective of the circumstances. The protagonist and his remarkable story of courage, determination, and strength are easily the strongest aspects of the film.

Additionally, the narrative brings forth a notable endeavor that does justice to its delineation and execution. At its core rests a crucial message about ideas of courage, but above all, about kindness, forgiveness, sometimes even towards oneself if need be, making the story an impactful, poignant one that is sure to stay with the viewer for a long time.
