Using documentary, archival and scripted elements, it tells the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood. It accounts his public life full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss with his never-before-seen private journey including the years that followed his diagnosis with Parkinson&#8217;s disease at the age of 29. The film chronicles Fox&#8217;s personal and professional triumphs and travails and explores what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/abe-friedtanzer\/\">Check out more of Abe Friedtanzer\u2019s articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"yHgMSR4F1Ak\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"STILL: A Michael J.
