The whole world held its breath when Christopher Reeve struggled for life on Memorial Day,1995.On the third jump of a riding competition,Reeve was thrown headfirst from his horse in an accident that broke his neck and left him incapable
of any movement.In the years since then, Reeve has not only survived,but has fought
for himself,for his family,and also for the hundreds of thousands of people with spinal cord injuries around the world.And he has written the heartbreaking,funny, courageous and hopeful 'Still Me.'
'Still Me' is the story of his life - his
whole life.The early success on Broadway opposite the legendary Katharine Hepburn; the adventure of filming Superman on the streets of New York,and the dazzling years
of stardom that followed; his critically acclaimed success both in the theatre,and
in films as The Bostonians and The Remains of the Day.Since his accident,the man who cannot move has not stopped moving.He has established a charitable foundation to raise awareness and money for research into spinal cord injuries.
His work as a director on In the Gloaming earned him an Emmy nomination,one of five that the film received.His speeches at the
Democratic National Convention and the Academy Awards inspired people around the world.He has testified before Congress on behalf of health insurance legislation, lobbied for increased federal funding for spinal cord research,and developed a working relationship with President Clinton.With dignity and sensitivity,he describes the journey he has made - physically,emotionally,spiritually.
He explores his complex relationship with his parents, his efforts to remain a devoted husband and father,and his continuing and heroic battle to rebuild his life.This is the determined, passionate story of one man,a gifted actor and star,and how he and his family came to grips with the kind of devastating, unexplainable shock that fate can bring to any of us.'Still Me' is deeply moving and inspiring,but it is gripping and funny as well,and altogether a testament to the human spirit.
