When Mark Pollock became blind at age twenty-two, he thought it would be the worst thing to happen in his life, but he worked hard to make the best of it. He became the first blind man to win medals for rowing in the Commonwealth Games, to complete six desert marathons in seven days in the Gobi March and, incredibly, to race across Antarctica to the South Pole. But the gods weren’t finished with Mark. A week before he was due to get married, he fell from a third-storey window and broke his back in three places, leaving him paralysed from the waist down. This documentary follows Mark’s rehabilitation, as he deals with the realities of his new situation and rebuilds his life.
