Sculptor/painter Katie Dallam entered the boxing ring for her first professional fight and, 140 blows to the head later, suffered major brain damage. (Her life became the basis for the movie Million Dollar Baby). Irish musician Graham Sharpe’s career was on the rise when advancing tinnitus caused a ringing in his ears so bad that it put an end to his rock-and-roll dreams. Sculptor Alice Wingwall experienced complete loss of sight from a degenerative eye disease. Game over for these three, right? Not so fast. Each managed to struggle, innovate, and, ultimately, through their art, transform themselves into someone new.

Good concept, poorly executed.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
When I start feeling sorry for myself or worried about becoming disabled due to an injury I suffered recently, I remember the inspiring stories of the three artists depicted. Cinematography is gorgeous. I have watched this film at least 5 times!
