“Gleason,” a 2016 Sundance Film Festival documentary, intimately chronicles five years in the life of former New Orleans Saints football defensive back Steve Gleason.
Gleason was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 34. This film follows the rapid progression of his disease, taking the audience through his family’s journey as he becomes a father, with all the triumphs, tragedies and struggles as he remains determined to live a purposeful life.
WWU alumnus Ty Minton-Small (’11) lived through the laughs and tears from behind the camera as he lived with, filmed and provided care for Gleason during this time. Ty will be at this special event and will participate in a Q&A with KING 5 anchor and WWU alumna Joyce Taylor (’84.)
Free parking is available in Lot 14 G across from the Performing Arts Center.
Registration deadline is Thursday, Feb. 2.
