In 2016, just after the birth of his son, Ady Barkan was hit with a devastating blow: He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As the medical bills began pouring in, Barkan was inspired to take action against what he says is a flawed health care system in the U.S. When his ALS progressed, leaving him paralyzed and unable to speak, Barkan used his ailing body as a weapon in the fight for health care rights, which is chronicled in the documentary “Not Going Quietly.” Host Giselle Fernandez revisits her conversation with Barkan, who knows his time is limited and wants to do everything he can to leave the world in a better place for his kids.
