I would like to know if anyone has seen Ennis’ Gift. I see that it is on HBO but I don’t have that available to me and I would like to purchase it if it is any good. I would like to hear some opinions on it and where I could buy it. Thank You Liz
Re: Ennis' Gift
I saw it this past week, it was good. It was not really what I was hoping for. It was like most other documentaries of its kind, older people (mostly famous) who overcame the obstacles of their disabilities but no specifics. It definitely lifts your spirits that people are successful in life despite the mountains they have to climb but if you are at the stage that I am at, looking for specific answers and advice on WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY CHILD???????, this does not contain such info. But if you need a pick me up and hope for the future, it’s wonderful.
Re: ps ........
If you are interested in it for the kids to see, I tried to have my 9-year-old and my husband sit down and watch it with me and they both left after 10 minutes, slow-paced and above the kids heads. Definitely a just mom film in my opinion.
I don’t know anything about the episode you are speaking of. But I recently found Ennis’ web page, or rather foundation, and it does have a news article on Ennis’ gift.

Hope that helps!
