Daniel Radcliffe executive produces a very personal and inspirational documentary honoring David Holmes, a gifted gymnast who landed “the best job in the world” when he became Radcliffe’s lead stunt double in the Harry Potter film franchise. “He had no concept of fear,” says David’s dad, recalling the 10 years of their close collaboration, which ended when Holmes was seriously injured in an accident on set that left him paralyzed with a spinal injury. The Boy Who Lived reveals Holmes’ resilience in the aftermath of tragedy and how he continues to uplift all who know him, finding “light in the darkest of places.”
