Zion | FULL FEATURE | Netflix

Hats off to him. The mental strength he shows is unbelievable. GOD bless him.

[carpeludis]

I am so ashamed of myself. I have lower body, but I am not sincere and am lazy. His endless effort and success motivated me a lot. I appreciate him, causing me to look over myself again. Thank you Zion. You are my best hero!

[yingt]

I couldn’t stop tearing. What a touching story! Zion shows us how tough human can be, yet most of us got too many excuses. The people who have been gentle to him, his mom, his coach, have big heart. Love makes things possible.

[DarthVader-brrc]

Gave me tears. Really hits home because I'm a wrestler off to college and I realise how hard the sport is and how tough he had to be.

[missvida]

The best part about this handsome young man is the fact that he can admit that he was not the best as a child and took it out of others. Others would lie and claim to be angels but he is so authentic.

[jonnyo]

I have the utmost respect for Zion, he was Blessed by God and teaches us humility and perseverance. God Blessed Zion with his angelic mom, who truly & unconditional loved him, and his inspirational coach of all coaches. I am humbled, amen.

[blacklove]

This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever seen. ❤️

[ayamohamedali]

Despite of his conditions, and physical disaster he is a champion, I love his story, his Mom and his Coach who help him to accept himself first, I think the real disability is our fear nothing else

[nancywood]

I'm watching this very strong, handsome young man do the impossible ( for 99.9% of people). And I don't believe my eyes. This young man is God's creation of perfection....sent to be an inspiration to the world. For once...I am nearly speechless. 💫

[mimoso_]

He is absolutely the epitome of perseverance! Huge kudos to him! Watched all the video crying... I wish all the very best for him throughout his life. He totally seizes the life despite his condition, which makes him such an unparalleled inspiration for everyone. Big hugs from Istanbul.

[bustedknuckle]

My son is a sixth grade wrestler and I am going to have him watch this as soon as I get home!! I hope he gets the determination that Zion has because with that anyone can do anything in life!!! Proud of you Zion!

[estherb.]

Man this makes me so grateful for the differences God has blessed us all with. Zion is so inspirational. God bless him and his journey in Jesus name

[pzjo]

I almost cry watching all this but I admire this guy for his enormous mental strength and persistence in what he does

[webcrawler]

The first time I saw his picture in the net I thought that it was photoshop because he just look amazing to me. Tears came out my eyes when his trainer broke down.

[DWH]

Every appreciation is small in front of zion's will and such a inspirational person
Love you zion ❣️

[TravisJansma]

Physically he is only half a person, but more than most of us. "With life comes many defeats, but never let yourself be defeated, " is the perfect quote for Zion.

[TheA]

His story is incredible and really has much more to come I am sure. What an inspiration. That felt awesome to watch. His exemplifications of fortitude, the self worth, the ownership on his attitude/growth opportunities in spite of all. Amazing human example. I hate excuses too.
Much respect Zion.

[zsozso]

Beautiful story and heartbreaking, how can any parent abandon his child, ? What a great man Zion is, a slap in the face to all of those who say they can’t do it ...

[patricklongerbeam]

I am blown away by Zion’s mental toughness, dedication and his ability to overcome adversity. He is a testament of the true American spirt!
God bless-

[AfricanGirl]

He's so handsome ❤👑 Good for him doing what he loves & owning his happiness
