"You have to confront the brutal reality, but at the same time have completely unwavering Faith." ❤ That says it all, doesn't it?

I was in attendance at the 65th Grammy Awards lovin every minute and had no clue as to the great personal stress Batiste was under. This looks to be quite the emotional roller coaster of a film! Much continued strength and creativity to Jon and Suleika!

THIS! This made me cry. The world needs more of you, Jon Baptiste.

[lauriegough]

I read Suleika’s memoir a few years ago (it’s excellent!) and was so heartbroken when I heard her cancer had come back. These two are so incredibly inspirational on every level. I can’t wait to see this film.

Even the Trailer gave me goosebumps 🎶 🎵 🎼 ❤️

Jon and Suleika are so inspiring. As corny as it sounds, they make me want to be a better person ❤

When he shaves her head, it is an act of love that makes you realize what love is.

I can't believe when I saw him win that grammy, his wife was in the hospital. You just never know what people go through behind the scenes even when it looks like they are very successful in public.

[joshuaesquivel]

This man is incredible. His energy is infectious and his musical ear is impeccable. He doesn’t seem conceited, rather, he comes across as confident and humble.

I’ve never cried at a trailer until now…simply beautiful. God Bless you and your wife Mr. Batiste ❤

It's like a movie, but its real life. Beautiful.

[ranjithj]

Both of their smiles are contagious! Pure love. 💯

[millionsofmarks]

Omg, whenever I see him, he's always smiling, always happy and his music always sounded joyful. I really thought this guy must have a problem-free life to be that happy always. Little did I know his wife is suffering from cancer. You never know that from his appearance.

[joniheisenberg]

I love his spirit. He has the most beautiful smile! 🦋

[DamianGoodcleever]

Was not expecting to start the day crying lol. Can't wait for this

[thomassiembor]

Jon Batiste embodies pure joy in his music-i t's like positivity radiates from him! I did not know his story of his wife's battle with cancer. We see two artists who battle adversity through their spiritual connection to each other. Gotta see this.

[ncubesays]

Actually ugly crying, lumps in my throat and all, over a trailer is a sign that I need to make sure that I have a bulk order of tissues and crates of red wine in my house by November 29.

[alexandrehenri-bhargava]

Jon Batiste is an incredible musician, and even better human

[kathythompson]

Fabulous and moving and heartbreaking documentary about two beautiful and bright and beyond talented people!
