Rick Hansen’s Man In Motion World Tour was legendary, a four-continent, four-wheeled odyssey that changed the lives of millions. Written by Dennis Foon, with a vibrant multimedia component from filmmaker Deco Dawson, this world premiere takes audiences back to the beginning of this remarkable man’s story: teenage friends on a camping trip in Williams Lake, B.C. and the moments, big and small, leading up to a life-altering event.
