This is a fantastic documentary, chronicling the incredible story of Devin Dearth who suffers a stroke at the age of forty. This devout Christian, champion bodybuilder and husband and father of three shows incredible inner strength when faced with a challenge which would stop most people.

This documentary opens up Devin’s private life and how he goes through therapy and deals with the ups and downs of this emotional roller coaster ride following the stroke. For example, his son graduates from High School while Devin is undergoing physical therapy in China. When asked how he feels, he replies, “Lonely.” This documentary follows his journey in China and features his treatments there, acupuncture treatments with pins, as well as other physical therapy to regain as much of his former life as possible. His church pitches in and raises money to help send him and their generous spirit is inspiring to watch.

His devoted family including his mother, brothers, wife and kids, stand with him and are amazed at the progress he makes. As his wife states at the end, “He’s a hero.” We gladly award this program our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal and recommend it for ages twelve and above as the acupuncture scenes involving the needles and a bloody tongue is a bit intense for very young viewers.

This man’s story and the story of his amazing wife and family should be viewed by every family. You will appreciate what you have even more and be inspired by one man’s spirit and incredible courage.
