Summary:
The story of one remarkable doctor as he transforms the standards of care for paraplegics. Arriving at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in 1944, Doctor Guttman reinvigorates the lives of his staff and patients with one daring move: he introduces athletics into the rehabilitation plan of his patients. He used sport to challenge them physically and psychologically, and his ideas lead to the birth of the Paralympic Games.
