Tweel has crafted a film that goes beyond the facts of Gleason's life into the depths of human anguish and resilience that define character.
Rolling Stone
What sounds like a completely devastating tearjerker is filled with humor thanks to its subjects' candor.

Rating: 4/5 --
With any luck the film will raise awareness for a horrendous disease, and it's well worth a watch for its honest portrayal of a man fighting back against tremendous adversity.

For Gleason, holding nothing back means inviting the camera into his bedroom and bathroom -- where his frank, occasionally funny and sometimes heartbreaking perspective on the indignities of his illness can be startling.

Product Description:
An unflinching portrait of retired NFL player Steve Gleason and his battle with ALS. The former New Orleans Saint thrilled fans with a crucial blocked punt during the team's first game back at the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina, but his career was cut tragically short when he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at the age of 34. Refusing to give in to fear, Gleason took it upon himself to live a life of inspiration for his wife and newborn son. Clay Tweel directed this emotional documentary.
