You are invited to view the full inspirational feature-length documentary "A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story", right now on YouTube (at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUfaB41xjao&feature=share ) and at http://www.BillSackter.com for free!
This engaging 90-minute feature-length documentary explores the unlikely real-life friendship between Bill Sackter (who was abandoned in an institution for 44 years for mild mental retardation), and Barry Morrow (a young idealistic college student who became Bill's legal guardian to keep Bill out of the institution), and how their relationship and Bill's unique embrace of life allowed Bill to become an internationally known hero for people with disabilities.
It's a very funny, highly emotional, and ultimately uplifting experience for everyone to enjoy, and it's received great praise, many standing ovations, and was voted the #1 Audience Favorite at 5 consecutive film festivals!
Perhaps you remember the made-for-tv drama "Bill" (1981) starring Mickey Rooney and Dennis Quaid that portrayed the events in Barry and Bill's life, or maybe you've never heard of Bill Sackter. Now for the first time you have a chance to know the real Bill Sackter through actual film/video footage and photographs of Bill and interviews with those closest to him, told in a very entertaining and engaging way.
It's an amazingly powerful film that will bring you to tears and leave you smiling. See Lane Wyrick's award-winning independent feature about friendship, faith, and the value of human compassion.
