Get Off Your Knees: The John Robinson Story is a poignant, moving documentary that profiles a man of uncommon courage and determination.


A multiple-congenital amputee, John Robinson was born without hands and with arms that stop at his elbows. His lower legs were attached to his hips without knees. Few people, including his parents, ever expected him to lead a normal life.
