Cougar fans who are Amazon Prime members will have a nice treat during the holidays. That is because Cougar legend Steve Gleason’s acclaimed documentary Gleason will start streaming as of December 29th. Anyone who has a prime membership will be able to view the film on Amazon video free of charge. I know a lot of fans have been eager to see it and it hasn’t been playing in ton of theaters so this should make the Cougar faithful very happy this holiday season.
Gleason has already been announced as one of the 15 documentaries on the shortlist for the Academy Awards. This inspiring and heart-wrenching story of Steve’s battle with ALS is a tremendous film and something I would recommend everybody check out. Between this and the Holiday Bowl next week Cougar fans have a couple of incredible television must-see’s as we go into the New Year. This is something that should be on the top of your que if you have Amazon.
