In this documentary, the late Mark O'Brien, a journalist/poet and polio survivor living most of his days in an iron lung, teaches us more about what it is to be human and of how not to live our lives as a victim. RECOMMENDED

Yu manages to know how to ask just the right questions to draw him out and has an excellent sense of how to collect her material into a compelling whole.

Although death is never far from his thoughts, he has less interest in death with dignity than in life with dignity, which this revelation of a film demonstrates he has achieved.
