Based on a true story, this film follows quadriplegic Brooke Ellison as she overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to graduate from Harvard University. Vanessa Marano and Lacey Chabert are very effective as the younger and older Brooke, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio co-stars as Brooke's mother, giving a performance that's far better than one might expect out of a TV movie. A genuinely touching film that was the final directing project of former Superman Christopher Reeve.
