The story of an Olympic high jumper, played by Brent Carver, who loses his leg and yet doggedly persists in his pursuit of athletic glory. Released a year before Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, this made-for-Canadian-TV movie, which also stars Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall, has been described as a tear-jerker.
