SUMMARY:The Beat Goes On - A Journey of Hope following musician\, Willard Blackwell
DESCRIPTION:“The Beat Goes On” is a journey of hope\, following Zydeco musician Willard Blackwell’s life with ALS\, while his friend connects with him with holistic healers\, ALS reversal patients who regained their mobility\, and a Harvard neurologist who invented an instrument that allowed Willard to play music with his mind. \nDirector’s Statement: \nAs director of The Beat Goes On\, I began this documentary with one simple goal: to help my friend Willard Blackwell find hope after his ALS diagnosis. Music had always been central to his life with the Gator Beat and Gator Nation Band\, so I set out to keep him connected to it. Our journey led us to Seattle to explore the encephalophone\, a hands free instrument that allows Willard to play music with his mind. Along the way\, we met ALS reversal patients whose stories expanded the film’s scope. I hope this documentary inspires newly diagnosed patients to seek options\, hold onto hope\, and support the fight for ALS research. \nTrailers & Related Video Clips \n#1   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTbAIHsLQKg \n#2   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml53ZsQ8fs0&t=116s \n#3   https://youtu.be/1izMC7gHXIU \nALS Fight Song– “Life is a Journey” \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0S_cw7nPlY \nWhy I Made The Beat Goes On Documentary-Kathleen McCallum \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWpzt6SO_7k \nWebsites \nhttp://thebeatgoeson-alsfilm.com  \nhttps://willardblackwellals.com/the-beat-goes-on-review/ \nFacebook  \nhttps://www.facebook.com/WillardBlackwellALS/
