Amazing Documentary


This is an absolutely amazing and captivating documentary. At times you feel elated at the recovery of one of the subjects, and at other times are brought to tears by the pain unfolding before you. This really shows us the fragility of human life as held in the brain. God's creation is so amazing yet so delicate. I recommend this for anyone.

I saw it earlier today, wishing for a happy ending for all involved. Alas, it was not to be. I can only hope viewers come away from the film with the realization of how fragile we all are. Best of luck to all of them (you too).

Whatever you wish for me, I hope you have twice as much.

that documentary just...really took hold of me. i wish i could have watched it from the beginning...but i caught it about an hour in so i never got to see who these people were before their brain injuries, their families, etc. no one deserves to go through this. this really sucks. i wish i could think of something more intelligent to say, but this doc just really stirred my emotions...

I guess we got the same dreams...or is it the same nightmares?

I just saw it and I feel the same. It's available on Netflix for those who want to watch it now. Such a gripping documentary.

I really felt for Tom and his frustration.

I'm glad his fiancee stayed with him the whole time. I felt horrible for Sean Riley's parents. They did all they could and he didn't regain mininal consciousness.
