When she was 27, Kelsey Peterson dived into Lake Superior, just as countless others have done. But Peterson emerged paralyzed. Following her accident, Peterson, a dancer, finds herself struggling to redefine who she is. But when the opportunity arises to dance again, Peterson embraces the challenge of the unknown.
With Move Me, Peterson also takes on a new role: filmmaker (with co-director Daniel Klein). She documents her everyday routine, which involves arduous physical therapy, transportation challenges, and access issues with her wheelchair. We meet her mother and father, who are incredibly supportive of their daughter but still grief stricken by what she has lost. When Peterson is given the chance to participate in a cutting-edge clinical trial, she faces a choice between hope and acceptance. Strikingly honest, Move Me is emotionally raw, extremely powerful and beautifully choreographed — very fitting for the dancer that Kelsey Peterson still remains.
