One Shift - The Matty Marcone Story

Since the age of two, Matty has struggled with diabetes and was later diagnosed with a learning disability. Matty was later diagnosed with Dyskeratosis Congenita, a rare genetic disorder found in 1 in a million people. All three of Matty's medical issues have deeply affected his life growing up, but he did not let that hold him back. Between recently graduating from Canton High School in 2016 to scoring his first varsity hockey goal, Matty has a determination unlike no other. With this documentary, we strive to share his story and allow every individual to be a part of Matty's exquisite life.
