A Brother's Promise: The Dan Jansen Story (1996)
Touching story of sadness and triumph
27 June 2007 - 3 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
I had read an article about Dan Jansen's Olympic and personal journey before seeing this movie. I'm always intrigued by a story of hope and overcoming life altering events, and this was no exception.
The background of the characters that is provided gives you a sense of the family's closeness and how they positively affected each others' lives. I can't speak to the accuracy of specific details in this movie, it is customary to take some creative license when organizing a script. However, the spirit of Dan and his family is what matters here.
Its a worthwhile movie of a story that should be told. I felt empathy for the characters and cheered at the end.
