Michael J Fox talks about his life, from boyhood, his fondness for his father, becoming a huge film star, falling in love, marrying and having children. The whole documentary though is seen in the context of his discovery that he had, hid from and eventually came to accept that he was suffering from Parkinson's Desease.
Fascinating and ever so cleverly put together documentary which uses clips from his films and shows to almost make a film of his life and the struggle to accept and then address the illness he has. He comes across as pleasant, still funny and self deprecating, tough and clearly adoring his wife and kids, who seem very loving and balanced. He is also very honest about drug addiction, alcoholism and once being a pompous ass, but ultimately comes across as likeable and the whole documentary is so interesting and a pleasure to watch if just a little tinged with sadness.
