This is the journey of a man suffering from Parkinson's disease. Ross Collins
tells of his past twelve years' experiences of living with Parkinson's. Before,
he had a steady job with Victoria Police, with promising future prospects; and
was happily married with two young children. The disease struck him at an early
age, changing his life and setting him on a different course. His outlook on
life has changed, and his decision-making influenced; as well, his relationships
with his family affected. He feels normal only when he is shaking, rattling and
rolling along on his Harley. His wish for a cure leads him to pin his hopes on
faith healing by the 'miracle man', in Brazil. The first two visits did not seem
to have done anything to improve his physical condition. Ross is returning to
Brazil for the third time, hoping against hope that his condition could be
improved by a miracle healing. This documentary gives an intimate look into the
life of a Parkinson's disease sufferer and that of his family. Includes also a
medical definition and prognosis of the disease by neurologists.
