It's Good To Be Alive
This is the true story of baseball great Roy Campanella, portrayed by the award winning actor Paul Winfield (Sounder, King). After an auto accident turns the legendary catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers into a quadriplegic, the road to recovery is far more difficult than any baseball game he's ever played. With the help of his wife, (Ruby Dee) and his physical therapist, played by Lou Gossett (An Officer And A Gentleman) Roy gets back on track and becomes a beacon of hope to millions.

Coach Of The Year
When a former football great returns from Viet Nam in a wheelchair he expects to get his old job back as a coach with the Chicago Bears, but all they want to offer him is a position in the public relations department. When he takes a job coaching a group of incarcerated juvenile delinquents instead of the PR job, it's not just the kids who learn how to play the game of life. Robert Conrad(Black Sheep, Wild Wild West) stars in this inspiring and true story of one man's struggle with life in a wheelchair while at the same time teaching young boys how to stand up for themselves! Coach Of The Year is a real winner!
