The Motion: Gooch's Journey
After being paralyzed in a car accident at the age of 18, musician Ryan 'Gooch' Nelson struggled to reconnect with his passion. But after years of physical and emotional rehabilitation, nothing could stop him from playing the guitar again - not even his paralyzed hands. With a special technique for playing and renewed sense of purpose, Gooch has spent the past decade creating music despite the obstacles he encounters every day, from morning to midnight. This documentary follows his progress as he records a studio album with his new band, Gooch and the Motion, and Grammy-winning music producer, Joe 'The Butcher' Nicolo. Gooch's unique musical style - which blends country, blues, rock, and hip hop - takes us on a journey through his world of love, pain, faith, and medicine.
