This documentary will be awe-spiring to all those who watch it. The subject matter is one, that really, for me, strikes an emotional nerve in you as you hear the story of Abby Curran, a woman who really overcame and defied odds by being A Miss USA pageant contestant despite her physical disability of Cerebal Palsy.
The doc follows her story on how she starts her own beauty pageant; the "Miss You Can Do it" beauty pageant, a pageant inspired by kids of all ages with mental and physical disabilities.
We continue our journey by getting more involved with the pageant contests as the date gets closer. My heart goes out to these kids, and for me personally, I found it very difficult at times to watch some of them with their symptoms. However, it was because of this reason that I was hit by such a powerful message that the documentary delivers.
Everyone can contrive their own message from the movie, but for me that message was delivered by a little girl named Ali. She was born with Spina Bifida, yet despite all odds, is the happiest little girl in the world. She just about loves everything, very social, and more importantly excited about the contest. Who the hell am I to complain about such trivial things when I see this young girl inspire those around her, including myself, through her constant joy and happiness?
Pretty soon you come to find out this isn't just Abby's story anymore, this becomes everybody's story who is affected or involved in the pageant, and the tradition they set in place for future generations to come.
I give this 7/10 because I felt is spacing was a little off. However, I am more impacted by the story that anything else, and for that reason alone you should watch it. Thanks for listening!
