A Former NFL Star Player Given a Terminal Diagnosis
A Video Diary Left for His Soon-to-Be-Born Son


Steve Gleason, a special star who belonged to the New Orleans Saints of the NFL, the pinnacle of American football. One day after retiring, Gleason was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a rare disease with a prognosis of 2 to 5 years.

And then, shortly after.

He learned that he and his wife Michelle were expecting their first child. Would he be able to hold his child? What could he leave behind for his child? Gleason began filming a video diary to leave for his unborn child...

A talked-about film that has received and been nominated for nearly 30 awards across the US, and recorded an astonishingly high score of 97% on "Rotten Tomatoes," the No. 1 movie review site in the US!
