Fact-based story of Mike Mills, a teen with muscular dystrophy, who is placed in a state nursing home by his destitute single mother. There he must contend with being the only young person in the clinic and with an abusive head nurse. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
I have Muscular Dystrophy and my mother was told to put me in a nursing home and Thank God she didn't. But the face is that they did do that to a lot of disabled people back then. This movie was wonderful and touching and Fred Savage played the role well. Is there any way at all to track down a copy of this movie?
