Warm Springs

In the words of President FDR,
“Not everything is made for profit…”

Watching Warm Springs on HBO was enlightening to say the least. The film is not only inspirational for paraplegics but people from all walks of life. It is truly a real life story of a man that brought real life issues to the face of American people. At the age 39, Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with infantile paralysis. Even with this un-imaginable occurence in his life, President FDR was the only President to be elected four times into office and the Man responsible for passing the social security tax…

President Roosevelt, named by Time Magazine “the foremost statesman and political leader” of the 20th Century. He founded the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation in 1927 long before he was known as the American President that we know today.
