Stronger than Ever chronicles the journey of Dan Pardi, a pediatric cancer survivor, as he returns to Dana-Farber 14 years after his treatment. The film builds on an earlier trailer, Strong as Iron, that introduced us to Pardi and the relationship he and other Jimmy Fund Clinic patients had with a special group of iron workers.
