Gleason quickly
becomes a model for what can happen when the focus is on life instead of death,
on serving instead of lying down and helplessly accepting. It’s about turning
irreversible, impossible circumstances into life’s possibilities as Steve
Gleason fights for his life and continues the choice to live despite all odds.
Great work for Director Clay Tweel as he captures the process of the fight for
life. The film is well documented and perfectly portrays its heartfelt and
moving story. Great work!!!
