At the age of 32, Ady Barkan was a new father and rising star in US progressive politics. His life, however, was changed when he was diagnosed with ALS. With the threat of increasing health care costs due to tax reforms, Ady confronts Senator Jeff Flake on a plane over his support for the controversial reforms. This viral confrontation propels Ady into national fame which he uses to set off a powerful political movement that encourages people to demand health care justice from their elected representatives. Through interviews with some of the most powerful politicians in the US, Ady reveals the true power of community activism.
