My Brain: After the Rupture

This is the story of a catastrophic brain injury and one woman's journey back to a life she can barely recognise. Clemency Burton-Hill has to find ways to accept or not the irreversible changes wrought upon her after a clot on her brain ruptures and leaves her comatose for 17 days. The documentary leaves us under no illusion of a miraculous recovery - rather a mammoth climb up a never-ending mountain, whilst dealing with not just the end of her previous life as a broadcaster and journalist but also as a hugely talented musician. The film is raw and tough to watch at times. Clemmie is inspiring, and I found myself willing her hands to grasp her bow to begin finding a way back to the true love of her life - music. I highly recommend this beautiful film.
