Films are so often about big, dumb conflicts and predictable conclusions. The Waterdance is about the everyday process of continuing one's life under a tragically altered set of circumstances.

If this sounds self-righteous and loaded with pity, nothing could be further from the truth. The Waterdance speaks with wit and dark humor.

The Waterdance is one of the most realistic films ever released dealing with the subject of adjusting to life with a spinal cord injury.

All of this is played out with poignancy, realism, humor and touches of poetry by a devoted and varied cast.
