Ulcerative Colitis
Los Angeles
Project Details
The film is about a young man’s battle with a chronic autoimmune disease called Ulcerative Colitis, and the sudden loss of a close friend, which forces him to confront his condition. It is a personal story, inspired by the director’s own experience dealing with the disease, as well as a sudden loss. Through the film, we hope to bring awareness to invisible disabilities and the invisible strings that come attached, as well as the faith one needs to follow their instincts when it comes to pursuing one’s health.
