Product Description
On August 4th, 2004, Jason Crigler, one of New York Citys most sought-after guitarists, suffered a brain hemorrhage during a concert in Manhattan. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors told Jasons familyif he makes it through the night, there wont be much left of him.
But Jasons pregnant wife and the rest of his family refused to accept the dire prognosis. Convinced that beneath his unresponsive eyes Jason was in there, his family mounted an
intensive and intimate course of rehabilitation that would eventually force Jasons doctorswho were sure that he would live out his days in a nursing hometo reconsider the factors and forces that inspire recovery.
"Life. Support. Music." chronicles Jasons powerful and unusual story, explores the nature of hope, faith and healing, and proves that family may be the strongest material in the universe.

Riveting by Jill K. Schmidt (St. Louis, MO United States)  5 Stars
December 20, 2008
Most enjoyable move I saw at the 2008 True False film fest, (and I saw eight.) Really holds your attention. Great sound track. Love story. Uplifting. Would make a great gift for anyone, but if you know someone with a close friend or relative who has had a stroke, buy him or her this movie.
