My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown (1989-04-07)

1989-04-07 • Drama • 1h 43m

A film about life, laughter, and the occasional miracle.

Overview

No one expects much from Christy Brown, a boy with cerebral palsy born into a working-class Irish family. Though Christy is a spastic quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed, a miraculous event occurs when, at the age of 5, he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scrawl a word on the floor. With the help of his steely mother — and no shortage of grit and determination — Christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter, poet and author.
