Caught a re-airing of this last night on TSN, that was unbelieveable! Very very well done, I actually totally forgot that Steve Nash was a co-creator until I saw the credits afterwards. I think they did a great job humanising him(as opposed to portraying him as some infallible living legend, as some movies tend to do on past heroes like this), like when he was visibly frustrated with the media, and near the end when was clearly in pain and exhausted, and just wanted to know how close he was to home so he could be done with it.
I remember learning about Terry Fox when I was in elementary school, and when you're 10, someone who's 21 may as well be 40 to you. But seeing clips of him now - which I haven't seen since probably elementary school - where I've got a few years on him now from during his run, he just looks like a kid. You can see this too on the show when he talks to crowds and has this goofy sense of humour, he just seems so young. I've never seen him from that angle before.
Truly inspiring story, pretty heart-wrenching too. I highly recommend it. Easily my fav of the 30 for 30's so far, along with The Two Escobars.
