Review of When I Walk (2013) by Mrnice — 11 May 2014
A portrait of daily life with MS, but also with some educational bits (how society handles disabled people, how to deal with illness).
It's been a while since a documentary made me cry, but to see these people do so much out of love, despite so much bad, hit me right where it matters and instantly inspired me. I hope I will remember and draw from this movie for many years. Thank you so much to both Jason DaSilva and Alice Cook.
From the onset of his symptoms and his best efforts to ease them by training, Jason captures the story up to life in a wheelchair and the relationships that make it remain a life. I was so discomforted while seeing the early symptoms, but how these people manage to live and laugh is something every person on earth could draw wisdom from. When a family member remarks that the appearance of Alice in his life was a gift from God, it seemed justified.
When I Walk can be viewed as both educational, a love story, inspiration from people who set examples, and as a technically very well-made film.
Highly recommended.
