Super science documentary film - "So Much So Fast" (Steven Ascher and Jeanne Jordan, 2006)

What would you do if you were 29 and found you might only have a few years to live? "So Much So Fast" is about the remarkable events set in motion when Stephen Heywood discovered he had the paralyzing neural disorder ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Made over five years, this film tracks one family's ferocious response to an orphan disease: the kind drug companies ignore because there's not enough profit in curing it. In reaction, and with no medical background, Stephen's brother Jamie creates a research group and in two years builds it from three people in a basement to a multimillion-dollar ALS mouse facility. Finding a drug in time becomes Jamie's all-consuming obsession. Free with donation to Museum
