    • Synopsis
    • GIVE THEM WINGS is based on the heart rending true story of wheelchair bound Paul Hodgson and based on his best selling book of the same title.

      Paul was diagnosed with childhood meningitis aged just ten months old and his parents were told he would never move or speak. Paul is now 55 years old and has survived to become an award winning novelist, film producer and screenwriter. 'Give Them Wings' is Paul's incredible journey to acceptance.

      The film, set in a much less tolerant 1989, tells the story of Paul's heart-breaking journey to acceptance and follows in the footsteps of 'My Left Foot', 'Billy Elliot' and the beautiful French film 'Untouchable’.
