Plan B

Plan B is a documentary produced by Empax founder, Martin Kace. Martin was injured in an accident in five years ago, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. The film documents his personal struggle, which leads him in 2004 to protest President Bush's decision to ban federal funding for stem cell research. Martin takes his battle to the Capitol where he stages a daring and provocative protest. Although things don't go exactly as planned, the messages contained in the journey ring loud and true.
