In this documentary, Seven, Axel's son, embarks on an adventure with his dad - paragliding. His dad teaches him the art of paragliding and Seven experiences many fun adventures. He will learn to be independent and learn the fun and the consequences of his actions.
I like how a dad and son find a common interest and spend time together paragliding. The story is easy to follow. I really enjoyed how the camera catches people flying in the air and I enjoyed the multiple angles of the same shot, so we see it from different perspectives. I really love the shot where Seven is about to start gliding, and his glider fills up the whole screen. This is an unscripted documentary, so there was no acting. The film takes place in present-day Cali, Colombia in the vibrant mountains. I really enjoyed the background music - it fits very well with the theme and tone of the film. The director created a heart-warming story of son and dad doing something together and supporting each other. It's a good reminder that kids are more capable than adults believe them to be. When parents let them lead their way, they end up finding the correct path for themselves so the child can grow.
The film's message is about trying new things/trying things outside of your comfort zone. Seven is trying paragliding for the first time, thanks to his dad. Note that it shows kids doing risky things that should be done under supervision.
I give Shared Joy 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Avani M. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
