FREE: Still Me (Christopher Reeve)

The listing, Still Me (Christopher Reeve) has ended.

"When the first Superman movie came out, I was frequently asked, 'What is a hero?' I remember the glib response I repeated so many times. My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences -- a soldier who crawls out of a foxhole to drag an injured buddy to safety. And I also meant individuals who are slightly larger than life: Houdini and Lindbergh, John Wayne, JFK, and Joe DiMaggio. Now my difinition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles: a fifteen year old by who landed on his head while wrestling with his brother, leaving him barely able to swallow or speak: Travis Roy, paralyzed in the first thirty seconds of a hockey game in his freshman year at collage. These are real heroes, and so are the families and friends who have stood by them." 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 batle to rebuild his life.
