"Another staple. The smallest book ever, with the most powerful, true story. Real, human, authentic. I love this book. Nothing humanizes and brings to light the misinterpreted politics of feminism like this author’s simple, heart-bursting story."

Powerful movie
Based on a true story, this movie tells the story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who lost her arm to a shark and the battle she endures to come back after. A very inspiring movie on the power of faith, family, and courage.

Powerful story
This movie is so powerful, whether you believe in God and faith or not. To see his dedication to his faith and God, even at the risk of his own life, it is just awe-inspiring, and then at the end finding out it was based on a true story is just incredible! I am a Christian and I cannot wait to meet him when I get to heaven.

This book was so powerful and sad. I would recommend it to anyone even if you aren't a book lover. It's such an insight to what really went on at Auschwitz as it is based on a true story.

Powerful Drama based on real events
A dark drama based on true events of police brutality in Detroit in the late 60's. The cast is very good. The story is fascinating, even more so based on true events. For that reason disturbing and shocking. It's a little long but well worth your time for a story that will stay with you long after the credits.
