My Left Foot 1989 - The true Story of Christy Brown
Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
To get some idea of how severe the symptoms can be, it might be worth watching My Left Foot (1989), a drama film which tells the true story of Christy Brown, an Irishman born with cerebral palsy, who could control only his left foot. Christy Brown grew up in a poor, working-class family, and became a writer and artist. It is both an education, but also an inspiration for those in despair, that it is possible to achieve great things even with disabilities this bad.
