Based on the bestselling true story of a student reuniting with a favorite college professor, Tuesdays with Morrie chronicles the reunion of sportswriter Mitch, with his college mentor, Morrie. The busy young man, despite promises to “keep in touch”, has let sixteen years slide by, when he spots Morrie on a TV interview, and is inspired to visit and reconnect. One Tuesday, Mitch finds his elderly mentor still sharp, witty and full of spirit, but facing life’s final challenges. Morrie asks him, “Are you being as human as you possibly can?” Mitch can’t answer this and his one visit turns into many as he discovers that even though he is out of school, there are still many lessons on life and love he can learn from his beloved mentor.
