    Heartbreaking, thank you for pointing a camera that way!

    Thank you Zachary and Victor for this wonderful film. I am very inspired by Victor’s courage and zest for life. We able-bodies (or is it not-too-able) often miss the reality of others around us. For me, Victor shows how important to stop, look around, and see others standing sitting walking 2 inches in front of our noses.
    Keep it up, keep telling us about your stories. My only disappointment is, the film just only touched the tip of the iceberg! And, can’t wait for more. Good luck

    Victor is so courageous and doing wonderful work! I don’t think there is any place he wouldn’t dare to go. Great film!

    You are really on the front lines, as always. Doing and thinking about issues. You have given a real face to the people who have real needs. How can this not be acknowledged as a human rights issue?
