For those who grew up in the 1980’s and 1990’s, you watched the TV show “Mork & Mindy” on ABC every week and were invited into the hilarious world of Robin Williams. The man was a genius and every funny thing he said was comedy gold. Some of the funniest episodes were with Jonathan Winters.

It was also during this time that audiences saw him in films such THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, GOOD MORNING VIETNAM, POPEYE, BIRDCAGE, GOOD WILL HUNTING and the amazing DEAD POETS SOCIETY.

Families flocked to his films where we saw him as Genie in ALADDIN, Theodore Roosevelt in NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, Alan Parrish in JUMANJI, Ramón, Cletus, Lovelace, & the narrator IN HAPPY FEET and as Peter Pan in HOOK.

He was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning Best Supporting Actor for Good Will Hunting.

When the actor died in 2014, the whole world came together to mourn the passing of Williams.

Now comes the documentary ROBIN’S WISH.

Directed by Tylor Norwood, Robin’s Wish tells the powerful true story of actor/comedian Robin Williams’ final days. For the first time, Robin’s fight against a deadly neurodegenerative disorder, known as Lewy Body Dementia, is shown in stunning detail. Through a gripping journalistic lens, this incredible story sheds an entirely new light on the tragedy, beauty and power behind the mind of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Of the film, his widow Susan Schneider Williams says, Robin’s Wish is Robin’s story, it’s our story, and in some ways it’s a universal one — as we all understand what it means to search for answers, to experience love and loss and the power of healing that keeps us going.  

Finally, a note about the film title: Robin wanted to help all of us be less afraid. That was Robin’s wish. We had been discussing what we wanted our legacies to be in life; when it was our time to go, how we wanted to have made people feel. Without missing a beat, Robin said, “I want to help people be less afraid.” 

ROBIN’S WISH will be available ON DEMAND AND DIGITAL September 1, 2020.
