This is an incredibly inspiring film to watch!
In 2010 a catastrophic earthquake devastated the country of Haiti. Thousands were killed and many more were injured. Multiple amputations were performed to save the lives of the injured. Project Medishare along with funding from the Knights of Columbus set up a clinic in Haiti providing hope for a future life with prosthetic limbs to all the amputees.
An amputee soccer team, Team Zaryen was formed and it has transformed the lives of many. Hope, with the ability to live a normal life were the results. Team Zaryen was even brought to the USA to train and inspire our soldiers who found themselves in similar situations.
It is a film of love, incredible determination, hope and inspiration for all. One important note is the extreme graphic photography of the earthquake victims in the beginning of the film. Many are dead or severely injured and viewing may not be appropriate for young children or the faint of heart. Awards:
