Rick Hansen attends documentary screening in Williams Lake
Rick Hansen recently returned to his hometown of Williams Lake for a gala event featuring an exclusive screening of the documentary ‘Man in Motion: The Rick Hansen Story’. The film, directed by Adrian Buitenhuis and produced by Ryan Reynolds, chronicles Hansen’s landmark 26-month global wheelchair journey that began in 1985.
Hansen, who was paralyzed from the waist down in 1973 following a vehicle accident near Riske Creek, spoke about the personal and social barriers he faced. He noted that his mission is driven by a desire to create a world without barriers and to find a cure for paralysis resulting from spinal cord injuries.
