“A Brave Heart” allows Velasquez, now 26, to reflect on the difficult childhood she endured because of her unusual appearance. Still, Velasquez is abidingly pleasant company for the film’s brief running time-and the purity of her message is undeniable. She presents very little in the way of drama, suspense or forward momentum Bordo’s documentary is extremely straightforward and doesn’t attempt anything ambitious artistically. Her story would be inspiring in and of itself, but Velasquez is such an effervescent, charismatic subject, she can’t help but win your affection as well as your respect.ĭirector-producer Sara Hirsh Bordo was clearly wowed, as well her first feature is an unabashed love letter to this young woman that rarely dares to dig too far below the surface.
The documentary “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story” follows the Austin, Texas native’s journey from insecure, bullied kid to internationally acclaimed motivational speaker and lobbyist.
