A new short film released by Reflection Music Group documents the emotional roller coaster that preceded the life threatening 40-foot fall miraculously survived by Christian rapper Canon.

As a newlywed, touring rapper and RMG recording artist Canon was busy on the road the night of his near fatal fall. According to TheLeafChronicle, Canon, who was just wed in November, was leaving a performance at Faith Mission Ministries in Clarksville, Tennessee on December 20 when he and his manager Brandon Mason spotted a wrecked car on the side of the road. Although they were on their way to a dinner the two pulled over to assist the driver who was still trapped in his car. The driver, disoriented, twisted the ignition key making gas spread rapidly throughout the vehicle.

The fumes now released, forced Canon and Mason to flee from the vehicle because of the possibility of an explosion. Canon then leaped over a rail thinking there was a median in between but because of the darkness of night he could not see and fell 40 feet down onto a creek bed instead.

Canon has been steadily recovering with the help of his wife, family and close friends and is back in the studio writing and recording new music. In part two of this newly released documentary of his road to recovery we hear the reactions of those closest to him.

"The thing I'm thinking is, 'How are we going to tell his wife, that he just got married to less than a month ago, that this dude is at the bottom of a bridge, broken up?'" Derek Minor said.

Reach Records rapper Lecrae recounted his reaction when finding out. "It was surreal because you almost don't want to believe it. That's like my little brother. I didn't wanna believe how traumatic it was because of my own personal fear," he said, "It was heartbreaking for my whole family for many, many, many reasons."

Part two ends with Canon's wife sharing her reaction when he first wakes up. "It was a moment of relief to know, like man he still recognized me, he was alert and I don't know it just gave me hope to know that it was going to be ok," she said.
