This short film is supposedly based on a true story. A guy is in training to be the next Lance Armstrong and suffers a traumatic spinal injury. As you'd expect, when he awakens in the hospital, he's depressed and angry. However, eventually he is through feeling sorry for himself and begins to work on his rehabilitation in earnest. Through a lot of hard work, he makes a great recovery...only to have a setback just before being released.
I have seen many inspirational films and I like this one because it never degenerates to the schmaltzy or unbelievable. It manages to both inspire and not make the main character some sort of angelic hero--an excellent accomplishment, indeed.
Overall, very well made and I hope to see more from the folks who made this film.
