Hot Docs and the Vancouver International Film Festival are pleased to present I AM BREATHING as part of Best of Hot Docs, a weekend of documentary screenings coinciding with the Global Screening Day for this film.

Event in benefit of the MND Association, to raise awareness of motor neurone disease.

Students pay $15 MXN

In 2003, my beautiful brother David lost his battle with ALS.  His courage, spirit and sense of humor are his legacy. I made a promise to David that I would keep fighting for people with ALS and for ALS Awareness.  

I, like Neil, want to world to know about ALS/MND.  I want to world to know how it robs the patient of every last bit of dignity while keeping the mind sharp and how it robs us, the families and friends of those who bear witness with the everlasting memories of their strength and fortitude.

My hopes are that all of my friends will join us on Friday night, June 21st for an informal screening in our home of this amazing documentary.

A private screening for a small group of friends who have an interest and/or professional background in the field. By invite only.

For friends who cannot make it to our big public screening, we're also holding a private screening over the weekend.

Screening  & Talk from Brian Rowe (on living with MND) and other guests TBA.  Complimentary refreshments.
