EP. 1746: Creative team of the doc short "Lines of Determination | The David Wagner Story"

from WILDsound: The Film Podcast · host Matthew Toffolo

Conversation with director Alex de Montbel, executive producer Albert Crane, and doc subject David Wagner, on the making of the short documentary film from the "Your Everyday Heroes” series. David Wagner grew up as a natural athlete, always in motion, playing basketball, surfing, and chasing a dream of becoming a professional player. At 21, a day of surfing in Redondo Beach changed everything when a wave drove his head into the ocean floor, breaking his neck at the C5–C6 level and leaving him paralyzed. In the hospital, as doctors spoke of “permanent” chairs and “permanent” changes, David confronted the loss of his old life with the support of a fiercely loving family that refused to let him give up. http://www.youreverydayheroes.com/ https://www.instagram.com/youreverydayheroes/ —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
