It's Good To Be Alive
The story of former Brooklyn Dodger catcher Roy Campanella, whose career was cut short when he lost the use of his legs in an auto accident in January of 1958.
My takeA deeply moving portrait of resilience and reinvention. Roy Campanella's story—from baseball glory to devastating loss and beyond—is the kind of film that sits with you long after it ends. For anyone seeking inspiration wrapped in honest human drama.
