Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot

Drawn from John Callahan's autobiography, the story of his alcoholism, a car accident which renders him a quadriplegic and the subsequent discovery of his skill as a cartoonist.

"Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot" is a dark and emotionally moving movie about a man who sinks to the very darkest depths of oblivion and manages to crawl back to life. The film is, at its essence, about addiction and dependency and the twelve-step journey to recovery. An addict's tale is not warm or fluffy, and your heart will be deeply touched by the humanity and struggle of characters. No escaping.
