Todd Marinovich, star QB by day, heroin addict by night, recovered and honest

A first person narrative about man who's gone from great heights to the lowest depths. Todd Marinovich was basically bred to be a football Quarterback. Trained by his father he became the star of Capo Valley High School in Mission Viejo, CA, then in college he excelled at the University of Southern California and for a brief moment the Los Angeles Raiders. Until drugs took hold and led him down a well of troubles. Thankfully he survived and now bares his truth in person. Interviews with former teammates, friends and family interlace with his personal narration of his rise, fall and final recovery to what truly seems like a good place. I felt it was raw, bare and from the heart. Congrats Todd, you ended up with a beautiful family, one helluva story and you're alive.
