If you’re prepared to be hit in the face by a slew of emotions, this documentary is for you. I don’t often associate a documentary with fun; I would typically associate a documentary with the idea of imparting knowledge upon its audience. This film does quite the opposite of what I expected. This film follows the story of a young man, Miles Scott, who was given possibly the worst news anyone can be given: he has Leukemia. Covering a topic as heavy as this could have easily went down the path of sadness and depression, however, director, Dana Nachman, and the rest of the crew did a phenomenal job of focusing on the positive rather than the negative. While still covering all the necessary hardships of the Scott family, Nachman truly brought to light the fantastical humanity that took place throughout not only San Francisco or the United States, but the entire world. From the very beginning, the film was illustrated well, interviews with the necessary people were conducted nearly perfectly and the most important clips from both the preparation for and the event itself were perfectly implemented throughout the course of film. I can almost always find something wrong with a film, even my favorites; this film, however, was an exception. With a film that makes you feel as wonderful as this film does, it’s next to impossible to criticize anything about it. Could there have been better camera angles, I’m sure, could the audio have been better at points, of course. However, these tiny things became obsolete and completely slipped my mind as I watched this touching film. The best part about this film was the fact that it was able to transport the audience from whatever is happening in their lives to a place full of happiness and hope. This was a truly uplifting film and I commend everyone involved in the production of this film, but, even more so, the people involved in helping Miles Scott’s wish come true. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3884528/?ref_=nv_sr_1
