On September 13, 2001, Kansas City native Tomas Young answered his country's call to help hunt down "the evildoers" who perpetrated the 9/11 bombing of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Finding himself serving in Iraq rather than Afghanistan, Young was hit in the spine by artillery fire after only one week and sent home paralyzed from the chest down. Filmmakers Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue (of American talk show fame) take an unflinching look at Young as he faces the realities of being in a wheelchair, conquering or not the stuff of everyday life—like sitting up and getting dressed—that his injuries render extraordinary feats. Interspersed among Young's struggles to adjust to his body's new limitations and his burgeoning antiwar activism is footage of the fall 2002 debate on the Senate and House floors concerning Resolution 114, which granted George W. Bush the right to invade Iraq at his own discretion. A ticker notes every vote, both for and against. As we relive the rush to war, Young deals with its consequences.
