“Honestly I didnu0026#39;t want to watch this documentary at first. I didnu0026#39;t want to have u0026#39;survival guiltu0026#39; and have my heartstrings artificially pulled. Iu0026#39;ve seen many of these kinds of documentaries before but this one is different. Hope is the central character that floats on top of every scene, like an invisible shield in a Saturday superhero cartoon show. This film doesnu0026#39;t gloss over the truth but shed light on everyone else that is affected by a childu0026#39;s disability or two or three. u0026quot;Miss You Can Do Itu0026quot; focuses on eight contestants preparing for a beauty pageant created by Abbey Curran, Miss Iowa USA 2008 and the first woman with a disability to compete at the Miss USA Pageant. My heart sinks when a parent say that they donu0026#39;t know how long their child will live and that this pageant celebrates her life and gives everyone HOPE.”
