Winner of multiple festival awards, this uplifting and stereotype-altering documentary tells the story of a mother, a son, and what it takes to be a hero. It explores the lives of Mark Bingham, one of the passengers on United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, and his mother, Alice Hoagland, a former United Airlines flight attendant. The film is a touching, funny, and stirring portrait of how a son's heroism can inspire a nation, and how a mother's love can turn profound loss into unshakable resolve. Utilizing footage shot by Bingham himself, it provides keen insights for the national debates on LGBT rights, marriage equality, and gay athletes in sports.
