The Waterdance

In Films

A young man learns how to come to terms with his disability after becoming paralyzed in a hiking accident.

All of this is played out with poignancy, realism, humor and touches of poetry by a devoted and varied cast.

What's most striking about the film is its meticulous attention to detail, authenticity, and tight focus.
