Starting today, on the anniversary of Neil Platt's death, we're re-publishing his original blog posts chronicling his struggle against Motor Neurone Disease (as seen in I AM BREATHING). We're going to share them over 100 days in the run-up to 21 June 2013, the Global Awareness Day for MND/ALS which is also our day for worldwide screenings of the film.
Louise, who was Neil's wife, has written this wonderful introduction and will add some context to the posts over time, starting today with his very first entry, "Are you sitting comfortably...?"
In the meantime, I AM BREATHING keeps touring film festivals, playing at ZagrebDox this Tuesday, having its North American premiere at True/False this Thursday, and showing at Tempo in Stockholm next week. Please keep spreading the word.
