[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 517468, member: 1723"] [IMG]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51M3X7Uq2FL._AC_US218_.jpg[/IMG] Saw this many year ago and just revisited. Very poignant and moving. It's a well documented and acted account of one Christy Brown, who was born in Dublin in 1932 into a large family of working class parents. He had Cerebral Palsy, and had limited access to his limbs and speech. Back then, children with this affliction were usually placed in an institution to rot and be forgotten. Yet his family embraced him and encouraged him with all his physical failings. Christy went on to great achievements. He used his left foot to paint, type and much more. He wrote several novels, poetry, and made a name for himself. It shows what someone with severe CP can do if determined. This should be an inspiration to us all. Highly recommended.
