Glad you all have seen it the way I did...it felt a bit disturbing at first glance.

Lizzie, thanks for all of the links. I was hoping to keep it a surprise for each person who decides to watch it, BUT, I too, have been impressed with what I've read and watched of Nick. Quite an inspiration.

Oh Cripes!

In Part 2 of that video above, listen to Nick talking about abortion, about how most doctors would have advised against his birth..and what he's now managed to achieve with his life, *because* of his *life*, how he's touched millions of people, inspired them..

A man who makes you think, so deeply...

Thank you SO much, kat, for letting us see this film and for where it's taking quite a few of us. My son has just been deeply touched, watching that film, inspired...

Ripples...ripples can touch the banks of such huge ponds..

You just HAVE to watch Nick talking in this one (part 1 of 2) because he has the greatest most mischievious sense of humour! He'll crack you up!

Nick being so funny!

Sorry to keep coming back in here, kat...but I found this...and thought it so inspirational that some may like to watch.

It's a video of Nick talking about his birth, his parents reaction, their terrible fear, then acceptance...his school days, the bullying, the terrible bullying...and how his life turned around with his belief in God..

Just in case anyone misses Nick's second site, on the first link, here it is on its own..

Attitude is Altitude



Born with no arms, no legs, and yet, this man reaches out, hugs and touches more people in this world, physically, mentally and spiritually, than most of us with all four limbs may ever be able to do...

His message, taken from his video on this site is to never, EVER give up.

kat, thank you SO much for giving us that incredible film!

It is quite literally, the most amazing film I have ever SEEN!   

I am bubbling over with it! The smile on my face is huge, and the admiration in my heart for for all of those involved in making that film is even bigger!

The Butterfly Circus should be shown to every single child, every single person, around the world, because my Gosh, this world would be a far better place if we all had a Butterly tattooed on our Hearts!

"The world is not perfect, our physicallity is not perfect...and yet, there is a hope that my life counts, whether for other people, or for the difference I can make in this world" says one of the actresses.....

NICK VUJICIC is the biggest man I have ever seen!!!!!


I'm off to pass Nick's Beauty on to others..

I didn't want to put this in the "seen any good movies" thread. I didn't want it to get lost and I wanted to be sure folks who might not open that thread to see this also.

For an inspirational, oddly beautiful twenty minute indie film please click on Butterfly Circus. There is also a seven minute "behind the scenes" which comes up after. It's well worth watching, too...all of the circus props came from the 75 year old L.A. Circus. It was done on a shoestring with props, etc. donated, written by a wife and husband with a specific actor in mind. Can't say more or I'll give it away.

Anyhow...I hope you see its beauty, hope, and inspiration, too.
(You do not have to sign in to watch it. If you can't get it on that page, just use their search function with the title and it will come up.)
Thanks,

kat
