Michael J. Fox, a star of the 1980s, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, but continued his career until he could no longer hide his illness. We will also discover archival images, retracing almost all his life.
The documentary brings together archival footage and scripted sequences to tell the extraordinary story of Michael J. Fox in his own words: the unlikely story of a child born on a Canadian military base who became a Hollywood star in the 1980s. Between nostalgia and cinema, the documentary focuses for the first time on the actor's personal story and retraces his fight against Parkinson's disease, from which he has suffered since the age of 29. With the exceptional support of Michael J. Fox and his family, the film tells the story of his triumphs and sorrows in an intimate and sincere way, showing the struggle of an eternal optimist against an incurable disease.
