"Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down" tells the extraordinary story of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, her relentless fight to recover following an assassination attempt in 2011, and her new life as one of the most effective activists in the battle against gun violence
The film shows her doctor explaining that the bullet went through the part of the brain that controls expressive language. At first, they didn’t know if she would ever speak again. Later in the film, we see her coaching her husband Mark Kelly on his first remarks to the US Senate. He may have the full power of speech, but she understands how to communicate. This documentary is about resilience and advocacy, but most of all it is a love story.
