5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Courage; the power of love, April 25, 2000

By 

Moss David Posner, M.D. (Fresno, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gaby - A True Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

An emotionally gripping, touching, and sadly inspirational story based upon the life and creative contribution of Gaby Brimmer. Born of wealthy Jewish refuge parents residing in Mexico after the Second World War, she was afflicted with Cerebral Palsy and unable to move all but her left foot. Despite this, and with the love and wisdom of her parents and life-long Nanny she was the first so handicapped person to challange the entry exams and to proceed through high school and the University at Mexico City, distinguishing herself in the process. She went on to be published, in articles and in her autobiography. Rachel Levin's performance as the severely handicapped Gaby has to be seen to be believed. As a Doctor of Medicine and a writer, I found it astounding. Gaby Brimmer died of a stroke on January 3rd of this year. The world is richer for her inspiration and poorer for the loss.

I absolutely love this film. I watch it all the time, on my recorded copy. It is very inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. I just wish that it would be released on DVD, because it is so hard to find a good vhs copy of it. So please, please release it on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaby: A True Story, June 2, 2011

This review is from: Gaby: A True Story (DVD)

I have been waiting for this movie to be put on DVD. I seen this movie years ago on television and it was such an inspirational film. I have cerebral palsy and I thought the movie showed that just because the body does not work properly, does not mean that you lack intelligence. I love the way the subject was portrayed. Hopefully, the distributor will find that there is a desire for this film to be sold on DVD.
