Documentary short: Moving Forward After Spinal Cord Injury
A video profile of Billy Price (C-6 quadriplegia)
This seven-minute video features Billy Price (right), whose life was upended 12 years ago when he sustained a C-6 complete spinal cord injury as a freshman in college. As he narrates his journey with quadriplegia —the traumatic early days, the challenges and achievements—we see the images of his present day life: driving to his full-time engineering job, living in his condo, tailgating with friends before a football game, and continuing his passion for skiing.
