GLEASON receives prestigious national honor

Gleason, the documentary that chronicled former WSU star Steve Gleason’s battle with ALS, has been named one of the top 5 docs of the year by the National Board of Review.

This is a huge honor for the film as the National Board of Review has been honoring films for over 107 years with a select group of film aficionados viewing over 250 movies and conducting interviews with the filmmakers. A stamp of approval from the Board can often lead films to success at the Oscars. A film on their list immediately is granted creditability with the best films of the year.
