"As we approach the 20th anniversary of Christopher’s passing this October, I hope this extraordinary film provides an opportunity to ensure that spinal cord injury is visible on a world stage – prominence that is too rarely afforded to those living with disabilities. To hear Christopher’s voice again, reading from his memoirs and reminding the world of life lessons that come from strength in uncertainty, it is clear that, once again, he is speaking directly to us to ignite the world to action."
