Great depiction of trauma, PTSD flashbacks but bad religion

Inspiring story
I guess there was no one better to tell the story of Joni Earacksen Tada than
herself. So like Audie Murphy got to play himself in his autobiographical
film, Ms. Tada gets to do her own story.
In 1967 Ms. Tada while diving smacked into a platform abd sustained a broken
neck. She became a quadriplegic and learned to function that way. She was
an equestrian before that accident, but learned to develop another talent
while being paralyzed. You'll have to watch the film to see what it is.
Joni Eareckson Tada is a fine teller of her own story. Joni is a film for more
than church basements.
