Plots(1)

Alan Martin was born with a severe form of cerebral palsy. Since birth he has always been confined to a wheelchair whilst being unable to communicate with those around him.. Despite the fact that he has been overlooked and ignored his whole life, he refuses to simply resign himself to this situation. His life changes when he gets an artificial voice. This visually impressive film documents a pivotal moment in one man's life, which acts as a catalyst for change and reshapes his seemingly preordained future. (One World)
