Bend or Break

This documentary is incredibly moving, thought provoking, informative and very well made. It shares the story of someone living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and discusses important topics like chronic pain, misdiagnosis and mental health. If you have not seen it yet, I highly recommend you do!

Accurately depicts the hardships and struggles one has to go through when living with an 'invisible illness'.

Highly recommended to anyone looking to learn about living with EDS. This documentary outlines the life of Mitch Martiw, a male with EDS and his journey from symptomatic onset to diagnosis.

I cannot stress this enough... this documentary accurately provides the viewer a realistic snapshot of what it is like to live with a chronic, debilitating illness.

We need more films like this... films like this have the ability to stir up much needed discussion within the general public

This documentary is powerful, thought provoking and inspiring! As someone with EDS, I now resort to providing people with a link to this documentary whenever someone asks what condition I have.

This is the only documentary/film I've ever come across that accurately depicts chronic illness in such a raw, visceral manner.

This is an incredibly informative documentary. It was very well put-together, and it is both emotionally evoking and thought provoking. Now I better understand the seriousness of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and I commend people like Mitch for remaining strong throughout all these years. I'm super glad he's still with us, too. Given how invisible this incredibly challenging disease is, more people absolutely need to watch this documentary and spread awareness of it, so that more people suffering from this disease can find support and treatment for it. Send the video to everyone you know, it only takes roughly 40 minutes to learn how to better support our fellow brothers and sisters suffering from EDS.

This is an incredibly helpful and necessary documentary. Very well done! As someone with EDS, I finally feel more seen. I just wish this film were added to Netflix so more people would see it and understand some of this complicated condition. EDS is too complicated (and different for every zebra, just like a zebra's stripes) to be covered in one documentary, so I hope people understand that fact and try to be open minded. This documentary has the potential to open the door for EDS awareness. Healthcare employees should watch the film as well. Thank you so much for sharing your story with all of us!

I've read about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome before, but did not know how profoundly it can affect someone's life with the excruciating pain that it causes. Watching this helped me understand that. It is a well made film that interviews Mitch's close family members and how they all came to learn about EDS while finding ways to support him.
