I have to hold back my true feelings; otherwise, my comments would not be posted. Paul Basagoitia is a spoiled, entitled and reprehensible human being unworthy of our empathy or sympathy unlike the individuals who suffered their injuries through NO FAULT of their own! This film was a piece of SELF INDULGENT s***! Paul Basagoitia was one of the executive producers. PLEASE spend your time and compassion for those truly worthy of it!

Plot summary
When professional mountain biker Paul Basagoitia suffers a devastating spinal cord injury (SCI),his life is changed in an instant. Discovering that he's become paralyzed, Paul begins a grueling battle against his own body and mind, in the hope of one day being able to walk again. His excruciating recovery unfolds in real time through raw, intimate footage- much of which was filmed by Paul himself-as we see him fight through the agonies of an unpredictable journey and uncertain future. A chorus of other diverse SCI survivors weaves through the film, shining light on the struggles that Paul now faces. After years of relentless hard work, intense physical therapy, and even controversial stem cell treatments, Paul slowly begins to build a new life for himself. Any One of Us shows how lives can change forever in the blink of an eye- and the resilience, grit, and determination it takes to stay open to life's possibilities, even under the most trying of circumstances.

REPREHENSIBLE ENTITLED PROTAGONIST
Scary but inspiring.
This follows a professional BMX'er in his journey from a bad high profile accident...to possibly getting some degree of recovery. Some of the best footage is go-pro footage when he is struggling with various things, but then it is also inspiring to see his progress. It also talks to a bunch of other affected people, who were injured in a variety of ways..to give you a more full perspective of conditions people may also find themselves in.
Overall, a very good documentary, and definitely recommended.
Self inflicted?
Although I feel sorry for the people who have been injured in a car or other accidents, I found it hard to sympathize with others who performed dangerous sports where they knew the risks and then had to have loved ones take care of them indefinitely. A lot of these caregivers are young with the rest of their lives in front of them and all I could think is how a selfish hobby of a loved one gave them this lot in life. Sorry but all it made me think is people should think of others when you want live on the edge, it's not only your life that gets impacted if something happens onto you. Epitome of selfishness
