    • Trivia
      Based on the true story of Chris Mallard, who died in 1972 from cancer. The story around which the film revolves was written by him while he was ill. Chris Millard's real-life parents visited the movie set during filming.
    • Goofs
      When Chris is throwing his baseball cards into the shoebox, many of those are from the Topps 1980's and 1990's sets that weren't available until 10-15 years after the setting of the movie takes place.

    A great film, very moving.
    I remember when this movie aired and I taped it at the time. I was so moved by what I saw that I took the tape to my 8th grade English teacher so that we could watch it in class. We never had the opportunity to watch it and I ended up leaving it at the school. I wish that I still had that tape because I think about the film often. I've tried to remember specifics about the acting and writing but sadly I can't.If anyone knows how to secure a copy of the movie please post some info. I work with terminally ill children and I think this movie would inspire them to fight hard for as long as they can and to not give up. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you.
