Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The story of Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy. He learned to paint and write with his only controllable limb - his left foot. This new version is digitally remastered and includes all-new bonus material.

Brown begins to shatter this perception by using his left foot and a piece of chalk to scrawl a one-word message on the floor to his mother.
Music composed and directed by Elmer Bernstein ; executive producers, Paul Heller and Steve Morrison.
