'You Can't Help Me,' tells the story of Walt Ackerman Jr. and his struggle with cocaine. Though his addiction crippled his life in many ways, Walt's powerful sense of hope is what inspired the film. When the credits roll, we hope that you will have come to know Walt as more than a cocaine addict, but as a man - a man who has experienced pain and joy, suffering and hope. The goal of the film is that you will understand Walt's story as you would the story of a friend, accepting both the beauty and the pain of the truth simultaneously. His story will provide a connection of love and understanding between subject and viewer.
