This Oscar®-winning documentary presents Nadia, a 9-year-old girl with spina bifida. Her dream is to attend a regular school, even though she knows other kids will tease her. Wise for her young age, Nadia simply decides that she'll "find a way to deal with it." Despite having to overcome many obstacles, Nadia's got spunk and makes it clear she's not looking for sympathy. This film is part of the Children of Canada series.

    This film is a moving statement of how joy in life doesn't depend on having a perfect body, or beautiful hair, or a huge intellect, or a lot of money. It shows, as my daughter, Kate, told me, "The only thing that lasts forever is a good attitude."
