Beyond the Chair

Need to learn how to over come life's challenges? Watch this now, then watch it again!
We've know Andrew Shelley since he was a little boy, and we've been impressed by his intellect, charm and inner strength since the day we met him. It was no surprise us that Andrew would one day travel to the ends of the earth to prove to himself and demonstrate to others that fears and physical and mental challenges can be over come by sheer will. The great thing is that this film was created so that his story can be shared around the world.

Watch this movie alone, then with your friends, children and parents. It's incredibly uplifting and the real life story of how an engineer living and working in LA decides to leave his wheel chair bound job for the adventure of a lifetime.

For additional insight into the film, put yourselves in the shoes of his brother, parents and grandparents who support his efforts and send him off on his travels believing in him all the way, yet fearful of what might happen during his travels.

Beyond The Chair Documentary
This is an inspiring story of one man's fight against the effects of an inexorable disease. There are wonderful shots of the culture and geography of the five countries Andrew Shelley visited on his trip. At a time when people are feeling isolated and overwhelmed by the problems of the world, this documentary shows time and again, the kindness that all humans have in abundance, but often don't express.
Most important of all, this film is a clear call for more research into Muscular Dystrophy in all it's varied forms.

Inspirational film
This documentary is inspiring. The star Andrew (who was born with muscular dystrophy) is amazing. He does more things from his chair than most people do on their two legs. Good film making and the editing is spot on.
