Miracle at Manchester
True Story of a teenage boy who is an elite athlete playing both Football and Baseball for his High School who knocks in a walk-off hit in his High Schools City championships to bring the first freshman city championship to the High School. During the spring and summer of his freshman year the teenager was plagued with headaches. After numerous trips to the local hospital the young man was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. After multiple surgeries and a bout with a staph infection that almost took his life, this young man was given a very dim outlook on life. All this young boy had left was to try experimental trials to save his life. Prior to flying to Florida for an experimental trial his high school, and its community, asked him to come to school one last time and 1700 students and staff came together and said a miracle prayer over him that saved his life. God reached down and touched this young man and said it was not time yet. Miraculously the tumor ended up shrinking and is gone today, and the young man is paying it forward by starting a nonprofit charity that helps children fighting cancer. And subplots to the film are beautiful stories in themselves as a local reporter who had lost faith himself after his own father had died of cancer, finds himself understanding more about his own thoughts about prayer watching the teenager healed through prayer. A veteran who is a retired auto mechanic that fixes up cars for veterans that have gone through the Wounded Warriors Foundation, finds peace in taking a "cancer" project of a old mustang and fixes it up into an award winning car, for this teenager fighting for his life, that wins Judge's Choice in Mustangs by the Bay auto show and in doing so comes to peace with his wife as to why he loves fixing cars and helping others through his selfless acts of kindness. The young boys father can't understand why this is happening to his only child, and while trying to stay strong for his son, he loses his faith only to find it again when his son is healed through prayer. A beautiful and touching true story of how it takes an entire community to show compassion to heal a teenager who is fighting for his life against brain cancer.
