It takes many ups and downs and much triumph over tragedy to become the subject of an E! True Hollywood Story. Same thing goes for this special--True American Story.
After sorting through countless stories of pain and tragedy, heroism and selflessness, E! selected six extraordinary people to profile. They aren't movie stars or musicians, but they found themselves in remarkable situations and overcame incredible obstacles.
Join host Montel Williams for a two-hour journey into their lives.
One woman threw herself from a moving car and assaulted a policeman to get away from an abusive husband. Another woman dodged tragedy after tragedy and made it through crippling depression. A third woman went from being an advocate for disabled people to being disabled herself.
One man became an NFL player after his father went to prison. Another transformed himself into a stay-at-home dad with quadruplets. And a third man still rides the waves, even after a surfing accident damaged his spine.
Which of these champions of the human condition will emerge as the ultimate True American Story? Each one has an inspirational--and sometimes shocking--tale to tell. So, test your knowledge to see how much you learned about these remarkable folks.
