About the Show

Canadian Football League Hall-of-Famer, Terry Evanshen's life was changed forever when he survived a horrific car crash that erased his memory.

Fuelled by the devotion of his loving wife, Lorraine, and the encouragement of his family, Terry made a remarkable comeback into the land of the living. 

Inspired by June Callwood's award-winning book, The Man Who Lost Himself: The Terry Evanshen Story, CTV presents a compelling television movie about courage and inspiration. 

The Man Who Lost Himself is not just the heart-wrenching story of Terry Evanshen's grueling comeback, but a love story fuelled by the never-ending commitment of his loving wife Lorraine, and the encouragement of their three daughters.

Today, though the football legend continues to suffer from retrograde amnesia and impaired short-term memory, he has triumphed as a successful motivational speaker.
