Locked In
Synopsis
10 years ago, while working for the BBC as a documentary maker, I was diagnosed with a rare and degenerative illness that started slowly paralysing my arms and legs. At its worst, the illness leaves patients fully paralysed, unable to communicate, while their brains remain completely unaffected – they are Locked-In. Before the illness stops me being able to hold a camera, I want to make a film about the illness I have by meeting people as they recover from being Locked-In, learning about the disease from people who’ve had it in its most extreme form and having the chance to see my own future living with the illness.
