What an amazing story about an amazing little girl and her family! I literally shed ounces of tears watching this Documentary. It is my hope that everyone will join me and pray for Meryland, to keep her safe, healthy and always have faith in God as she pursues her dream.

Top class cinematography and editing! A fine story of the power of family life to create greatness in everyone involved, including a young girl. And I don't mean boxing.

The production, editing, writing, directing, etc., that went into making this superb video is every bit as worthy of award-winning as Meryland Gonzales herself, and I can imagine that similar stories of persistent struggle and overcoming adversity must exist in each and every one of those who worked so hard to tell this story. It makes me both proud and hopeful to be part of a nation where this could not only happen to first-generation immigrants, but also be so well told by others who no doubt share similar stories of courage and determination. - j q t -

I don't see her as an entertainment object for my future enjoyment. I presume you don't mean just that, but it is worth saying.

What 6 year old girl picks up boxiing gloves and cries to her parents to take her to a boxing gym? Shame on her father. Shame on the USA for allowing children to take on such injury. What an embarrassment.
