| Summary |
This film focuses on Evan Somers, who has been physically challenged with a spinal injury since 1975, when he was 16 years old. Since his injury steered him away from a legal career, this determined quadriplegic balances his time as a freelance writer in the entertainment industry (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), a teacher at Loyola Marymount University and Santa Monica College, and as Chair of the Writers With Disabilities Committee of the WGAW. When his close paraplegic friend, Richard Lubin, died, Somers decided to take a three-week journey across America, from Los Angeles to Sturgis, South Dakota, to attend an annual motorcycle extravaganza, traveling on a modified Honda motorcycle, to do some soul searching and to help raise awareness about spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders |
