FILM: Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet (15)

At the age of 19, rock star Jason Becker was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Twenty-two years later, Jason is still alive. Unable to move or speak, he continues to make music with his eyes, refusing to give up on his dream of becoming a musician despite the terrible hand that life has dealt him.
