I loved the film. Especially as it includes and makes people known no matter what their race, gender, if they have a disability or not, age, sex or any of those things. This film really spoke to me and as I am a carer for dementia and elderly some times it frustrates when those residents are not heard and no one is there to speak for them but I do. And for anyone who has a disability but can’t express their feelings like us everyone should find a way to make that possible for them and allow them to feel included, whole, a part of a team, appreciated and loved! Look at the person not the disability, these people have feelings too. Despite this we are all made in the image of god and are his children and we should try to love everyone. As it says in Philippians 2:3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. As a carer I strive to make that my mission in the daily care I give to those I look after and try to do the same when I’m not looking after those people and when it’s my day off and I’m busy in town or around elsewhere I try to do the same. We should always remember to treat others with humility, kindness and above all love. So don’t let the world become evil or we ignore what’s around us and ignore others differences, let us embrace them! That’s what I try to do as many others do to. I’m sure. Let us speak for the voiceless and make their lives a difference! And so that is why I loved this film because it not only made a difference to this one child with cerebral palsy but to me spoke to others too.

As a child I have always loved swimming so to finally have a brilliant movie about a young woman swimming instinctively made me wanna watch the film. I couldn’t tear myself away from the screen. I couldn’t believe how dedicated she was about swimming and so I’m even thinking about starting up swimming again and I will try to perhaps make her memory proud for swimming for rhe sport which I love too. Well Done Trudy and well done too to daisy ridley who I believe also made me wanna take up swimming again. I hope to be as determined soon when I swim and make women proud and others proud to swim for their country and for themselves.
