Dave Hammond from Mt Druitt Australia posted on 1 Jul 2018 2:47:56 PM Terrific video. Its amazing how a short piece like this can capture the essence of a person. Theres a lot of bad news around at the moment its uplifing to stop a few minutes to take in a story like this. Brilliant put together. Thank you.
John Miller from New York United States posted on 1 Jul 2018 7:03:15 AM Dear jack a friend sent the vid link to me and to be honest I dont normally bother with these kinds of things. But Im glad I did. The reference you made about being surprised about others for some reason stuck. You see theres this man in a wheelchair who every day is in my street at a particular time but when I see him I embarrassingly either walk straight past or cross the street in a hurry to go wherever Im going. But when I watched your vid it motivated me to stop and talk to him. Im so glad I did. Hes an incredible guy with an amazing story. And while this doesnt seem like much its a change for me for the better that just simply started with a conversation. Now I make sure I stop and we have a good old yarn together. Who knows where it will lead but I know the two of us are now better off. I hope this inspires change in all who see it even if its small. Im sorry but its just not all about the votes its about the message too. Take care.Ps. Nice job Jess really well done. Oh and you got my vote . Good luck
Bronwyn Beattie from Gymea Bay Australia posted on 30 Jun 2018 6:15:47 PM Congratulations on a clever documentary which allows a young man to reveal his incredibly optimistic view on life in the face of the difficulties caused by cerebral palsy. Good luck to you Jess and to Jack.
