A SPARK OF NERVE

A Spark of Nerve weaves together the extraordinary stories of Loren, Michael, Chelsey and other trauma patients who fight their way back from paralysis thanks to Dr. Mackinnon, a 1975 graduate of Queen’s University School of Medicine, Canada and a mother of four. The film follows the charismatic Mackinnon and her patients for three years, from the examining room to the operating room, as their emotional stories unfold—from trauma and disappointment to hope and finally healing as the joy and freedom of movement is slowly regained.
