It’s to learn from what CT has learned without needing that run-in with death. But if this movie, and CT Fletcher’s story, is to reveal anything.

Sometimes it takes a wake up call to shake us out of our comfort zone. He did not give up and he made the change.Īny single one of us can make that change. He found a new career and became bigger than ever. It took over a year and it cause the family tremendous pain and headache. He lived… However the recovery from this procedure was HELL. CT survived the operation and received the largest artificial valve implanted in his heart. In the film – we, CT, and his family describe the operation and that dark period in their lives. The kind of change that most of us believe impossible as we move forward in life. It’s the fact that he showed true change. But what I find most inspiring about this aspect of his life is not the near death experience that CT went through. And it changed every decision he made moving forward. Because of his genetics and strength he was still able to become the top athlete in his sport of powerlifting.ĬT Fletcher had a wake up call that changed his entire outlook on life. He would basically eat 2 Cheeseburgers with 4 French Fries, 2 desserts and a milk shake in every meal.

A very different man from the one you know today. When you look back at early footage of CT Fletcher, back when he was powerlifting and winning awards, you might be surprised at what you see. Specifically, it was the idea of a second chance. However, what made me want to start making a film about his life is his story of a comeback after a very complicated open heart surgery. When I first heard about CT Fletcher, his personality immediately enthralled me. This week Vlad opens up about the concept of second chances and the great effect CT Fletcher’s heart operation had, not only on himself, but on anyone who hears his story.
