The Present | Full Award-Winning Documentary

[@ronkirk5099]

I'm now 74, but I'm sure glad I learned early on the life philosophy of forgoing the acquiring of stuff for a life living modestly and traveling the world by bicycle, backpacking, paddling and sailing. I only had to work 20 years of my adult life and spent the remainder outdoors playing. Never regretted a minute of it. Life is short, make the most of it!

[@madeitthroughentertainment1658]

I will follow suit

[@lauren_WI]

Beautiful, very beautiful ❤

[@vr4oe]

How did you only work for 20 years? You made enough to cover all your needs already? Tell us more please.

[@marinaleal6422]

@@vr4oe It's a good question, but it also has to do with what you decide to spend the money on.

"Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present." - Jim Rohn

[@PaulJHowell]

in a world saturated with superficial images melded with shallow stories for cheap gratification...this resonates with depth, beauty and courage...truly uplifting - the raw and honest nature of human life.

[@gzahnd]

As someone with a rare disease (Fabry Disease), you had me in tears for 15 minutes. Everything about your film is beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring. Thank you.

I imagine this is even more powerful for people like you who can relate to Dmitri. I haven't heard of Fabry disease but i will learn about it now.

[@whatsupbudbud]

Even without having a rare disease myself this had me emotional by the end. Wonderful little movie which succeeded in its message as I know know what Huntington's disease is.

[@naflahnizthar4649]

[@swallowwest3389]

Being a researcher in rare diseases and a traveler who hiked in Patagonia for two weeks last year, I was moved by your heroic endeavor. I echoed with you on the deeper meaning of living. Thank you Dimitri, I am cheering for you and the brave souls who are battling with rare diseases. I shall continue working and do my best to help others - this is my mission. May God show his glory in our lives.

What a moving and inspiring film. I lost three sisters-in-law on Huntington disease. Luckily my wife is not infected with the gen. Ik is very important to talk about this disease and not be ashamed for it. We’ve learned not to take live for granted. We are thankfull for each new day and wish all peaple a good health and peace in a world in need.

[@patripadilla]

Dimitri you are really brave! Beautiful documentary!!!! Thank you for raising awareness about Huntington’s disease.

ALL years count. ALL life counts. No matter what or how. Life doesn’t choose between certain living to qualify as a good life or a bad life - *LIFE JUST IS.*

[@Trissa.33]

That is very true. It’s our attitude towards it that makes the difference.

[@chayo415]

No tenía idea de esta enfermedad. Gracias Dimitri por tu desicion de realizar este viaje para hacer difusión de ella y hacernos conciencia de no malgastar nuestras vidas.

[@punkyshoes]

I cried. I was diagnosed with Huntingtons 2 years ago. It's been incredibly hard, but thankfully, I don't have any symptoms yet.

[@philippwiedmann]

I wish you all the best

How inspiring this is, Dimitri! You were saying how beyond our culture, we are ultimately human beings! I feel like your story opened me up, warmed my heart and made me a better human being! Thank you for doing this courageous trip, for touching the life of so many sick or healthy, for reminding people of the fragility and value of life, and what ultimately means to be human! There is definitely power in sharing! Many blessings to you and the ones suffering from Huntington!

What a great documentary and story of Dimitri. "Living the life to the fullest". This is a good example of that for someone who may have a shorter life than most of us. This is the best state of a human being. I am deeply touched and inspired.

[@cbd8846]

Constant motion while being one with nature, energized by the sun -- that's the best medicine the world can offer. May you be healed, you have a beautiful soul. Miracles still happen.

[@fuzzybug29]

What a beautiful way to respond to this devastating diagnosis. My Grandmother had huntingtons. Many of my aunts, uncles, and now cousins are living with the disease. It is truly heartbreaking. A cure would be everything. I hope one is discovered in my lifetime.

[@grazie-cg4lw]

Vous éte une homme tres extraordinaire! Written with my best french learned during one year at school in 1973. It is 52 years ago - today I am 67. But we can all be etraordinaire. If you do not choose to cross with your cycle with your bike - start with being kind to yourself - your neighbour - the people working in your grocerystore....that is a good start and a good help.

Hi Dimitri! This documentary was so inspiring and touching. Thank you so much for showing us the bright side of life, filled with hope, ambition, purpose, courage and service. My mother is suffering from Dystonia (another rare disease - related to the Parkinson pool of diseases) and I could relate to every single person shown in this par excellence documentary. I hope that in this "life"(the present) I will be able to contribute to the lives of as many people as I can and carry this torch (just as you did) into their lives. :)
