From Independent Spirit Award-nominated director Eric Daniel Metzgar comes a new documentary about recovery, family and music. Jason Crigler, an established guitarist living and working in New York City, suffers a brain haemorrhage during a concert in Manhattan in 2004. His pregnant wife and the rest of his family refuse to accept the doctors’ dire prognoses. Instead, they decide to take Jason’s recovery into their own hands and reactivate his brain with daily stimulation and countless acts of love. This epic but intimate journey proves that ‘family’ may be the strongest material in the universe.
