Directed by Nick Hamm, Gigi & Nate is the story about Nate Gibson, played by Charlie Rowe. He’s a young man who suffered a near-fatal injury, turning his life upside down and becoming a quadriplegic.
Moving forward seems near impossible until he meets his unlikely service animal, Gigi – a curious and intelligent capuchin monkey.
Although she assists Nate with his basic needs, Gigi helps Nate find what he needs most in life — hope. The film also stars Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden and Jim Belushi. It’s a tearjerker of a story based on actual events, so bring plenty of tissues to the movie theater.
Also starring are Josephine Langford, Zoe Colletti, Hannah Riley and Diane Ladd.
