When I Walk approaches the struggles of living with multiple sclerosis and the medical community’s efforts to find better treatments and ultimately a cure with heart, humor, and courage. In 2006, Jason DaSilva was on vacation at the beach with family when, suddenly, he fell down. He couldn’t get back up. His legs had stopped working; his disease could no longer be ignored. An emotional documentary filled with unexpected moments of humour and joy, When I Walk is a life-affirming film driven by a young man’s determination to survive with multiple sclerosis – and to make sense of a devastating disease through the art of cinema.
