My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown (United Kingdom, 1989)

IMDb themoviedb.org Released: 1989-04-07
Poster for My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown (1989)

Composed by Elmer Bernstein

Description

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.
