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 powerful portrait of resilience and reinvention. Watch how one man transforms tragedy into purpose, proving that the end of a career doesn't have to be the end of a life worth living. For anyone who needs to believe in second chances.
