Very moving. It's a very short Documentary, but packs a punch.

I never heard Dylan's poem before, and that was very powerful also.

To Ms. Palka, I send my best wishes to you and your family, and my prayers. This Documentary will hopefully bring this horrific disease to light in hopes of more funding being allocated to finding a cure. I feel so strongly that eventually they WILL find a cure for these neurological diseases, and at the very least, something to curb the symptoms.

You're a brave and beautiful woman Ms. Palka, and when you got your test results, it took my breath away. I'm sure others felt that way, and my prayers are sent to you and all sufferers. I hope you are enjoying life, and know how much this documentary was appreciated. God Bless.

Just finished watching this, and it is truly nothing short of devastating. Your message to Ms. Palka is lovely.

I absolutely love documentaries and I stumbled across this one accidentally. I don't have enough adjectives to in my vocabulary to express how powerful this doc is. Just amazing. It takes so much courage to allow yourself to be so vulnerable with a camera in your face.

From memory Marianna recited Dylan's really long poem and she did it like a boss. I was literally in tears throughout the documentary. If I ever ended up in the same room as her I would hug her and never let go. Bryce says something about Palka having an incredible mind and it is very easy to see that the girl is brilliant. I felt real bad for Jason and Bryce, both of them appear to be crushed with even the thought she may be positive for this terrible disease. I hope a cure is found before her or anyone else for that matter starts showing symptoms. I for one hope she never is symptomatic, her or her cousin and sister.
