Documentaries are never my favorite because let’s be honest
most of them are boring. My goal was to find a documentary that is not boring.
The objective of this genre of film is to educate people about something
important. “Brave Heart” is about Lizzie Velasquez if you do not know who she
is you should definitely find out. She is a now twenty six year old woman who
was born with a genetic condition, Marfan’s Syndrome along with other things,
which causes a lot of issues one of them being that she is unable to gain
weight. This documentary about Lizzie’s story is truly impactful especially when
she talks about the bullying she has experienced. Being called and labeled as
the ugliest woman in the world is bullying beyond any one of us could imagine.
This documentary did a great job of displaying the early challenges Lizzie
started encountering at birth to then school and now an advocate for bullying.
Not all films can make you connect with the message they’re trying to give off.
But seeing Lizzie’s story was super impactful in the way that it should make
anyone who sees it want to go make a change. I think this documentary hit the
bullseye in what it was trying to accomplish. It shared a woman’s one and a
billion story hoping to inspire those who watch it to make a difference.
