Not Going Quietly

When 32-year-old activist and father Ady Barkan is diagnosed with ALS, he finds himself in a deep depression, and his dreams for his career and future with his newborn son seemingly shattered. But after a chance confrontation with Senator Jeff Flake goes viral, Ady organizes a motley crew of activists to embark on a cross-country tour of America, using his final breaths to fight for healthcare justice. Ultimately, Ady discovers that collective action and speaking truth to power offers a source of hope for the future that transforms the country, his relationship with his son, and his belief in what is possible for his family.
