Coming to My Senses

In 1999, Aaron Baker broke his neck in a motocross accident, leaving him completely paralyzed from the neck down. Despite his doctor's grim prognosis and people saying 'he had a million-to-one odds of ever feeding himself again', Aaron, through painstaking effort, endeavored to regain as much mobility as possible. This journey through the unknown took him from the depths of depression to the joys of cross country road tripping via tandem bicycle with his mother and friends. Now Aaron decides to take one final journey which symbolizes his recovery: cross a 20-mile tract of Death Valley unsupported on foot. (Austin Film Festival)
