A Fighting Chance

This movie can be watched on Hulu for free.
Kyle is a huge inspiration to me. Despite prejudices, hatred, etc., he fought every step of the way for what he wanted to achieve in life.

Description A Fighting Chance is a vivid, character-driven story unlike any before it. The documentary follows the inspiring story of Kyle Maynard, born with only three major joints: a neck and two shoulders. Not only has he learned to live life independently and without prosthetics, Kyle is now the author of the New York Times bestseller No Excuses and has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live and Good Morning America. With plans of fighting in an official Mixed Martial Arts match – a highly controversial and dangerous goal - the film brings us to ask the question: what is a disability and should there be regulations against MMA fighting when such high risk is involved? The film ends with the climactic fight that will change Kyle's life forever.
