our STORY
ONE OF MANY is the personal, yet resonant story of Mike Wagner—a devoted dad and blue-collar worker whose life unraveled after a job accident and whose fate was sealed when the systems designed to help those like him didn’t. Unable to get the care he needed, Mike took his life on February 10, 2018. But he left behind more than memories. He left behind 697 privately recorded video diaries, found by his daughter, Brittany. Videos that document his fight to live a normal life, love for his kids, and his plea to be heard.
