About the Film
“7 Yards” explores the resilience and perspective of Chris Norton. In 2010, at age 18, Norton suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury during a college football game. Doctors gave him just a three percent chance of ever moving his body below the neck again. Miraculously, he defied the odds, walking across the stage during college graduation and seven yards down the aisle at his wedding.
But that was only the beginning of his story—the first steps of a lifelong journey. In the years since, Norton has made it his mission to spread a message of empowerment in the face of adversity of all types. Today, he is a keynote speaker, an author, head of his own nonprofit, and a foster and adoptive dad. His story has appeared in some of the world’s largest media outlets, and he was named one of ITA Group's “hottest keynote speakers.” He travels across the country to inspire people from all walks of life and demonstrates how to unlock our abilities within.
“7 Yards” features powerful interviews, emotional reenactments, and real footage from Norton’s 2018 wedding. Come be inspired by a comeback story for the ages and his journey from college athlete to medical miracle to viral inspiration and now adoptive father.
