Summary:
A feature-length documentary that explores the resilience and perspective of Chris Norton. In October 2010 at age eighteen, Chris suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury during a college football game. Doctors gave him just a three percent chance to ever move again. But he defied that diagnosis. After years of physical therapy and training, Chris' story went viral in 2015 when he successfully walked across the college graduation stage with the help of his fianceĢ Emily. Video of Chris walking to get his diploma touched the world and has received over 300 million views. Soon after, Chris and Emily set an ambitious new goal: walk seven yards side-by-side down their wedding aisle.
