Following the film, there was interactive dialogue between attendees and Joshua Weigel and Rebekah Weigel (the film's writers, producers, and directors), and Nick Vujicic (the film's lead actor), a world-renowned motivational speaker and author who was born with no arms and no legs. The discussion was very heartfelt, with people sharing their personal connections to the film, how it inspired them, and how the film could be used in classrooms to inspire and spark discussion with students. Topics of discussion included bullying and overcoming personal challenges and obstacles. Following the discussion was a signing of Nick Vujicic's new book, Stand Strong: You Can Overcome Bullying.
