What happened Yesterday?

Clive, a fifty-two-year-old accountant walks daily for miles with no direction and no plan. It is freestyle fitness and meditation all-in-one. But what seems like simple routine exercise reveals an act of grieving and persevering through loss.

Three years ago, with big plans ahead of his 49th birthday, Clive couldn’t have anticipated the life changing decision he had to make on the day of his birthday: keep his Alzheimer’s-stricken mother alive or remove her from life support.

Told from the heart in this meditative portrait, Clive recounts the events leading to that decisive moment; the, pain, guilt and confusion that will set his life in motion and the transformative power of his loss into guiding inspiration.
