Based on the life of Rocky Dennis, MASK tells the uplifting story of a young man who suffered from a disfiguring congenital condition. The film movingly demonstrates the falsehood inherent in the world of appearances and the true nature of prejudice.
Despite being born with craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, a disease resulting in disfigurement of the bones of the face and head, Rocky is a typical teen: he collects baseball cards, plans to take a Harley through Europe, and excels at school. His devoted, yet substance-abusing mother, Rusty, along with her warmhearted biker friends, will do anything to ensure that Rocky is allowed to live as normal a life as possible. Rocky’s positive outlook and spirit win him friends and supporters wherever he goes–at school, at the hospital, and while working at a camp for the blind, where he finds love with beautiful Diana.
I thought this was an uplifting story that really captures and touches the heart. http://www.amazon.com/Mask-Directors-Cut-Widescreen-Cher/dp/B00009AOBI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1272747179&sr=1-1
