What happens
Terry is a 2005 Canadian biographical television film produced by Shaftesbury Films for CTV. Directed by Don McBrearty and written by Dennis Foon, it dramatizes the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run undertaken by the amputee athlete Terry Fox to raise funds for cancer research. Terry was in part conceived as a response to the 1983 film The Terry Fox Story, which had been criticized by Fox's family for inaccurately portraying his character as short tempered. Fox is portrayed by Shawn Ashmore, who is not an actual amputee himself unlike Eric Fryer who played Fox in the 1983 film. To authentically depict Fox's disability, the filmmakers used a real amputee as a double in some scenes and digitally superimposed a prosthesis over Ashmore's actual leg in other scenes.
