This is an awesome movie and an excellent example of leadership in action. Inspired by true events…
The story starts with John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) whose two young kids have a deadly disease called Pompa. They are not expected to live longer than a year or two at the most. Heartbreaking… But John decides to do something about it. He goes to see a doctor and scientist named Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford) whose research about the disease could be helpful.
In the end, John helps Stonehill finance his research, in hopes of making a cure…
The question of leadership is that often times it is real life situations that demand that we step up to take the lead on something – rather than wait for someone else to do something about it.
