SXSW doc explores how an Arizona politician went from presumed dead from a gunshot wound to an inspiration.
Gabby Giffords was talkative, articulate, and naturally persuasive, until she wasn’t.
That’s where directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West pick up the story. Hours after the tragedy, NPR had confirmed Giffords’ death, and the nation, along with her husband, retired astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly, had began the mourning process. Enhancing the beauty, pain, and remarkable perseverance of Giffords’ experience, Kelly took videos of his wife starting day one after her injury. The archival footage is intimate, showing Giffords in physical, speech, and even music therapy, where she cannot form the words to “Happy Birthday.” Yet in a video from years later, we see Giffords belting the song at her own birthday dinner, shining with charisma, surrounded by family and friends.
