My Review: 

Tyson’s Run was a wonderful inspirational film that touched on the core message of autism. It also showed bullying and the challenges that come with Tyson wanting to try public school. Tyson’s character is great example of someone not giving up and not allowing anything to hold him back. I loved the friendship between Tyson and Aklilu and how helpful Aklilu was in training him to learn how to run a marathon. He is one of the first people who truly believed that he could run in the race. He had a lack of a relationship with his father and there was a great disconnect. All he wanted to do was impress his father can become a champion like his football team that he coached. It was interesting to witness how that changed throughout the film and how a father learned how to be a father. I loved Amy Smart role of the mother in the film. I loved her in her previous work MacGyver and Justified. I also loved how the film discussed and ended with 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and how we need to run our race.
