A wonderful film celebrating these young men and the joy of playing sport and being part of a team. I loved it!
A fantastic inititiave. Great to see sport being used in a positive way.
What a great initiative and that's coming from a bloke who plays in this league and have been for 10 years now 104 consecutive games in a row it can be attributed to my remarkable fitness and attitude at training and on the field it started to pay off this year on the footy field thank you F.I.D.A
Great stuff!
Great story! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to Panthers played a great grand final
Congratulates to mazenod for a great game of football
An impressive documentary with lots of action, thoughtful interviews and powerful messages. Five stars.
The excitement resulting from the football match says it all. Great effort from the dedicated people that really got this sport going.
What a fantastic organization FIDA is for young adults with a disability who have a passion for the game of football. Perhaps all AFL teams should show this great film to their players!!!! Congratulations to all the wonderful volunteers who help make this possible..

A Great Film About Something Really Terrific Happening For People Who Are Often Overlooked In Our Society.
What A Wonderful Project To Have Undertaken. It Is Very Gratifying To Know That The Interest And Effort Of These Few Organizers, Have Brought Such Happiness To This Special Group Of Individuals.
