Brian Nice, formerly a globe-trotting fashion photographer, is now wheelchair bound having suffered through multiple brain surgeries to remove seizure inducing brain lesions. He cannot walk or feed himself but mentally he's all there and decides to go on a cross- country road trip with the help of family and friends, taking photographs all the way using a low end film based camera. He talks about his condition as do his mom, dad, friends, and his surgeon.

It's an inspiring story but not in a disease-of-the-week-special variety. Brian is stubborn and philosophical about what has happened to him. Especially painful is listening to and watching his mom and dad talk about what has happened.

But it's a pleasure to see a film like this without sugar coating, especially if your family has experienced traumatic medical episodes.

Yes, Brian and his family are fortunate to have the resources to devote to his care and therapy. But what this movie shows is whatever your circumstances, how you choose to address your situation is ultimately up to you.

The photography and editing in this film are superb and show great attention to color and detail. The audio track is skillfully synchronized with what we're seeing on screen regardless of who is speaking. Recommended.
