The Pursuit of Happyness: Based on the true story of Chris Gardner,
a homeless father who raised his son while aspiring to be—and eventually become—a stockbroker—The Pursuit of Happyness is a heart-wrenching film that details how this one man battled with losing his home, navigating a new career, and keeping his son in good spirits amidst the chaos of life.
Christopher Paul Gardner (born February 9, 1954) is an American businessman and motivational speaker. During the early 1980s, Gardner struggled with homelessness while raising a toddler son. He became a stockbroker and eventually founded his own brokerage firm Gardner Rich & Co in 1987. In 2006, Gardner sold his minority stake in the firm and published a memoir.
