Though Christy is a spastic quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed, a miraculous event occurs when, at the age of 5, he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scrawl a word on the floor. With the help of his steely mother — and no shortage of grit and determination — Christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter, poet and author.
Directed by Jim Sheridan · Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Brenda Fricker, Alison Whelan, Kirsten Sheridan
