"Torn Apart" is the true story of one family`s courage, heartbreak, sacrifice and, ultimately, triumph. Cory Friedman was an ordinary fun-loving little boy. But one fateful March morning in 1989, Cory`s life changed dramatically and was left in tatters. Cory had developed a rare combination of neurological conditions. The life he knew had been torn apart and his family were left watching him suffer. Desperate to help, they embarked on a fifteen-year struggle which took them beyond breaking point.
