Defying the Odds - Courage, Hope, Music and the Will to Survive (short version)

In August of 2004, Jason Crigler, one of New York's most sought-after guitarists, suffered an AVM brain hemorrhage while playing a show in Manhattan. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors told Jason's family, "Even if he lives through the night, there won't be much left of the man you know."

Jason's pregnant wife and the rest of his family refused to accept the dire prognosis. Convinced that Jason was "there," his family mounted an intensive and intimate course of rehabilitation that would force Jason's doctors to reconsider the factors that inspire recovery.

Jason and his sister Marjorie have developed a powerful multimedia presentation that explains how and why Jason recovered. Drawing on their unique, personal experience, they show how intense family involvement makes the difference in a positive recovery. While Marjorie speaks from the family's point of view, Jason offers a survivor's perspective on the challenges he faced.
