Genre: Drama, Family
Plot: As a coach and mentor, Walter Gretzky was instrumental in nurturing the talent of his son, hockey great Wayne Gretzky. So it came as an ironic tragedy when in 1991, just days after his 53rd birthday, Walter suffered a debilitating stroke that left him with no memory of his son's hockey career or his own role in Wayne's achievements. Based on the memoir WALTER GRETZKY: ON FAMILY, HOCKEY AND HEALING, the Canadian film WAKING UP WALLY dramatizes Walter's (Tom McManus) struggle to reconnect with Wayne (Kristen Holden-Ried) for a heartwarming affirmation of the bonds of family and father-son relationships.
