Unfortunately, disaster came in 1995 when he fell from his horse and broke his back. The doctors did not expect him to live. However, he made amazing progress. At first, he couldn’t breathe without a machine, but he learnt to breathe on his own. He would never walk again but he started a new life with great courage.
The second year after his accident, Christopher returned to film making. He also raised a lot of money to promote medical research into back injuries. He made speeches all over the USA about his experiences. This not only drew public attention to research into back injuries but also encouraged a lot of people living with all kinds of problems.
From their home, Christopher and his wife Dana spoke about their life after the accident．

"Four days after the accident, I came to understand my situation. The doctors said I was not going to pull through. Those days were terrible. But my wife Dana said, “You are still you and I love you. Be confident in yourself.” And that saved my life. Since that moment I have never thought of giving up."
What do you think of your family?
"Great! Dana is so wonderful．We have always got on really well．My parents often quarreled with each other when I was young．But they've got closer since the accident．"
How do you spend your time?
"I spend most of my time on charity work to improve the life for all disabled people．I think they need my help. With the progress of new medical research, I'm confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see I'm far too busy to think of giving up!"
