    The heroic struggle of its subject is clearly meant to inspire, but it also seems destined to shame weak-willed viewers who'd crumble under much less formidable obstacles.

    The producers managed to screw-up a very compelling subject. The extraordinary fate of Emmanuel and Jim McLaren are inspirational in their own right. But the film is smothered with a heavy hand of syrupy “stuff” and a litany of "dramatic" interviews some of them sound so phony that they are disturbing.
