5.0 out of 5 stars This Movie Has Never Left My Brain After 25+ Years, January 13, 2008

This review is from: A Day in the Life of Bonnie Consolo (DVD)

I saw this movie once or twice in Health class in grade school. It's a documentary about a woman who was born with no arms, and she does everything, EVERYTHING, with her feet, as if they were hands! It's an amazing story and I'm now going to buy it for my sister and I to share at home. I think of Bonnie Consolo on a regular basis --whenever I'm picking out produce at the grocery store or writing a check, not only grateful that I have the use of my arms and hands, but continually amazed by Bonnie's talents. If kids today are not still watching this in Health class, their parents should pick this up to watch at home. And I'll bet there are thousands of kids, now adults, like me who have remembered amd been touched by Bonnie Consolo their whole lives.

While this was filmed in the '70's, it is still an amazing video. Great to show to high school students.

This review is from: A Day in the Life of Bonnie Consolo (DVD)

While this video is old ( probably made in the 70's or 80's) I use it in my classroom (middle school.) Bonnie is a real hero and a shares a wonderful story of overcoming severe physical handicaps. She was born with no arms and because she refused to give into the handicap she leads a very normal and happy life. The film is shot like a documentary and simply shows her daily life and how she keeps house and raises her children with the skills she has developed to overcome her lack of arms. She is inspiring and happy and amazing. Everytime I show the film both the students and I are left with such admiration for Bonnie. Bonnie's story helps us realize that determination and grit can go a long way.
