GLEASON Feature Documentary

Steve Gleason was a star player for the New Orleans Saints before being diagnosed with a rapidly progressive form of ALS at age 34. With their first child on the way, Gleason and his wife Michel confront their ever-changing new reality with unflinching honesty in front of the camera. This remarkable portrait of a man and his family dealing with a devastating disease is by turns revealing, heartbreaking, humorous and undeniably human. — Mimi Brody
