If you’re housebound or not able to make it to Norwich you can watch it at home by purchasing a digital streaming ticket. There will also be a DVD available later on.
Jennifer Brea was a Harvard PhD who got ME following a severe virus whilst she was studying. Her husband is Omar Wassow, a Princeton Professor who was also involved in Obama’s rise to power- he also helped her film her experiences and encouraged her to lobby for change on this terrible disease. Jennifer’s feature-length documentary is now screening at select cinemas worldwide and is already winning awards at International Film Festivals. It will be screening in Parliament in a couple of weeks time and it is having it’s official UK launch next week at Mondrian, Southbank where celebrities with ME, specialists, politicians and charity leaders will all be present.
In short: ME is now finally having its moment in the spotlight because of this movie and we need YOUR help. Of course, it goes without saying that some people with ME will not be able to attend the screenings- but part of Jennifer’s distribution strategy is to ensure that those bedbound/ house bound with ME can still access it. So if they buy tickets for the Norwich screening they will then be able to live stream it at the same time as everyone else is watching the movie!
