The documentary film ‘Man In Motion: The Rick Hansen Story’, directed by Adrian Buitenhuis and produced by Ryan Reynolds, has been released. The film premiered at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall, with attendees including Rick Hansen, Amanda Hansen, and Derik Murray. Following the premiere, a gala event was held in Hansen’s hometown of Williams Lake featuring an exclusive screening. The documentary chronicles Hansen’s 26-month global wheelchair journey that began in 1985. During the event, Hansen spoke about the personal and social barriers he faced following a 1973 vehicle accident, noting his mission to create a world without barriers and to find a cure for paralysis resulting from spinal cord injuries. Regional news reports in Alberta have since noted the documentary, highlighting its coverage of the Man in Motion Tour.
