Read More In the midst of poverty and loss, Emmanuel is a jewel that shines in a dark night. I was profoundly touched and inspired by this true story of a Ghandian orphan who changes his world. I would highly recommend this DVD for the purpose creating sensitivity to the disabled, for creating cultural awareness of African culture, for helping value our blessings here in this country, and for inspiration of a biography of a modern-day hero, who does much with the little he has.

Read More that one person, a poor amputee, could instigate the changes and was able to accomplish on his own what is depicted in this documentaty. I have nothing to add to the excellent reviews that have already been detailed here.

Read More I am an amputee of seven years and this movie gave me a chance to evaluate my life. I now know how blessed I am to be a "disabled" person in America where I have rights and am not forgotten. Emmanuel is a beautiful example of courage and strength.

Read More I rarely cry because of movies so when I am driven to tears it is noteworthy. Emmanuel is one, if not the most brave and most importantly selfless people on this Earth. After watching this I felt as if my life and achievements thus far truly pale in comparison to this young man's and I am inspired to do more. The frank, unbiased view the film reports is a testiment to true movie making and increases the value and intensity of the message. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?
