Michael Heister In The Seeker, Evan Somers hits the road to find and talk to people about what's being done - and what people are doing themselves - to improve the lives of folks who happen to be born without or lose use of their legs.Evan takes us on his journey. He's adapted to the chair, sure, but he's still figuring things out as he goes. He talks to real doctors, listens to quacks, and bonds with people along the way. And he's open about the ways in which he's adapted to live his life. Not only does he not pander in this film or ask for sympathy, he is also unafraid to show us what may be his naiveté without putting a button on it.He invites us for a bike ride in his world, and he makes the journey worthwhile.

muselwhite Having introduced this film at the Santa Fe Film Festival, I am honored to recommend this work to IMDb readers. Thomas and Somers have taken the well worn road trip concept and personalized it to the extent that a fresh look at one man's journey to find himself (and the late Christopher Reeve) is revealed on the screen. Along the way, the two filmmakers manage to give the viewer an absorbing look at the American southwest, the bike culture, and what it means to be physically challenged in these modern times. Although Somers, as the main character in this film, ostensibly seeks a "cure" for his condition, it is clear that he seeks what we all ponder: our place on this earth and other fellow travelers to share his (and our) own personal journeys. This fine film needs a wider audience, and special note should be made of both the excellent sound and music editing and the performers themselves. "The Seeker" is an excellent film about an extraordinary human being. Seek out "The Seeker".
