SYNOPSIS
Claudia Karvan stars as cross-country skier Janine Shepherd in Never Tell Me Never, an autobiographical triumph-of-the-spirit story. As a promising Olympic-bound cross-country skier, Janine Shepherd must suddenly cope with the challenge of her life when a bicycle training run ends tragically. A car strikes the young athlete, leaving her a paraplegic for life. Never Tell Me Never, documents the long and arduous journey that Janine faces in order to overcome her debilitating condition. In an amazing display of sheer willpower and inner strength, Janine learns how to walk again and, as a fearless testament to the strength of the human spirit – eventually learns how to fly an airplane.
“The big mistake would be to dismiss this as a mawkish, miracle-she-walks weepie. It’s inspiring, touching – and at times downright funny. A remarkable story, well told.”
