View MoreSo often it's easy to say we care about others but it's another thing to actually show it. Abbey Curran was the first contestant to ever participate in the Miss USA pageant with a disability. Upon her journey Abbey soon felt the need to pass on her inspiration to others and created the "Miss You Can Do It" pageant. The pageant allows young women of all shapes, ages, and sizes the opportunity to feel beautiful and apart of something. It's a refreshing glimpse of how our world should be and allows a new perspective on how easy it is to take life for granted. This documentary follows the journey of 8 contestants entered in the pageant and connects the audience to their individually unique stories. To see the excitement these girls have alone to just be a part of the pageant is inspiring and you easily fall in love with each contestant. This documentary is a great watch for all.
View MoreMiss You Can Do It is an amazing and inspiring film. The film gives you insight into not only who the contestants are, but also the challenges they have to face and overcome everyday. Each story is unique and really each girl brings you in and it got a little emotional at times. You really feel inspired after watching this film. Through this amazing story telling and how each shot kept you in the moment this film is just simply amazing. Our society has put in us that if you see someone who is mentally or physically disabled we feel bad for them, but this film shows that these girls face this these challenges everyday and its how they overcome them. This film in my opinion is just truly inspirational!
View More"Miss You Can Do It," is and incredibly inspiring film that makes you take the time to really think about the lives of those that are physically or mentally disabled. On a day to day basis when a majority of people walk by a person with a disability we stare, or feel pity for them, while ultimately writing them off. This film shows that these are people with real feelings, desires, and ambitions.Here we follow Miss Abbey Curran who has Cerebral Palsey, and she had the determination to be her own person and be OK with who she is. She created the Miss You Can Do It pageant to help all these girls with disabilities feel the humanity they know they deserve, and to show that just because they are different, does not mean they are not beautiful. One of the main elements I took from this film was the personal lives of all the girls we follow throughout the film, and how their families have learned to live with their disabilities and accept them. Each family has struggled and some openly admit it scared them to death at first; however, having a disabled child has opened their eyes to how special their children truly are and how they love them no matter what.Miss You Can Do It truly helps one understand the lives of those we consider "different," and that just like all of us, they are people that feel just as deeply as we do.
View MoreAnybody is welcome to watch this movie, and everyone should.Miss You Can Do It! Alright. My family was picking what movie to watch for the night, and our Dad suggested this one. I never heard about it, so I wanted to see how this will go.So in the beginning, we see the same teenage model in fashion shows and pageants. I thought that was going to be the movie. A girl with a disability winning what she always dreamed of winning. But this movie is so much more! So this teenager makes a pageant for girls with disabilities, and let me say, it hits me right in the heart. And hearing about the girls and their stories makes me want to cry.Some of the girls made me laugh too. This movie is like taking something sad and putting some good into it and it makes a light that follows every girl. Like there lives will never be the same anymore. It's now something grand to cherish, instead of something horrible that terrifies you.This movie easily became my favorite documentary. Though, I haven't seen a lot of them. Everyone should watch this film. It might change your life, too.8 Stars!
