My Left Foot (1989)

Honoring the life and art of Christy Brown can be done in a few ways. Aside from reading his books and seeing his art at a gallery, watching My Left Foot isn’t a bad start. With moving performances and thoughtful direction from Jim Sheridan, this film is a great entry into the work of a genius whose physical barriers created an even greater depth to his already moving art. In this episode, Jon and Dan spitball ideas of how else Christy Brown’s work could be honored in the 21st century.
