The film features archive footage, interviews and scripted scenes, creating a fascinating film allowing Michael to explain his story.

In the trailer, Guggenheim mentions “the sad sack story is that Michael J Fox gets this debilitating disease and it crushes him.”

Michael replies: “Yeah, that’s boring.”

The film's synopsis reads: “Intimate and honest, and produced with unprecedented access to Fox and his family, the film chronicles Fox’s personal and professional triumphs and travails, and explores what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease.

"With a mix of adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film feels like… well, like a Michael J Fox movie”.
