Untie Me candidly explores the devastating fall and fascinating rise of Michael Warkentin, he has unflinchingly defied physical constraints to ascend a ladder of success. This documentary follows fun-loving, happy, thrill-seeking Michael Warkentin on yet another trip of a lifetime. Determined to make the most out of life, he has set out to take many incredible adventures not only to experience the world for himself, but to show others what is possible. Sitting on a wheelchair has not slowed him down. Michael has visited 26 countries despite his unique needs. We witnessed Michael’s vacation through Spain, Italy, France, and London. Every year Michael travels for his company’s international conference. During this Mediterranean cruise, among gorgeous European landmarks, the film explores the 6 phases of recovery that we all go through after facing adversity, with Michael as an excellent testament of recuperation and over-achievement. Michael also shows us how to easily keep a peak performance mind set. Michael is the kind of person who comes along once in lifetime. He has changed the lives of many people for the better. Inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s speech “We choose to go to the moon,” Michael repeats to himself one of his favorite mantras “I don’t choose to go there because is easy, I do it because is hard,” overcoming constant obstacles, and teaching us with humor the real value of life.
