Parkinson films

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. It gradually affects the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, leading to a range of symptoms including problems with motor control, cognitive problems (such as language and memory), and sensory and emotional disturbances.
Our films provide a compelling look at the many ways in which this complex condition affects the daily lives of people with PD and their families, highlighting personal stories and insights. By drawing on the expertise of leading specialists, we aim to weave in scientific perspectives that deepen understanding within the Parkinson’s community and the wider public.

We focus on extraordinary individuals who courageously share their journeys, leading us to greater empathy and openness in approaching this disease, and fostering a supportive dialogue that promotes understanding and solidarity.
