I am Breathing

I am Breathing is really harrowing documentary that shows the end of Neil Platts life. I wish I could say that it was brilliantly made and was a wonderful watch, because the subject matter is definitely worth it, but the documentary itself gave me motion sickness. While there is definitely love and passion behind this project, the use of shaky home video footage made it slightly unpleasant to watch at times.

It was well paced and their choice of showing clips in a non-linear timeline really worked.

The end of the documentary was emotional but I would of liked to have seen some more interviews with people he was close too discussing what life was like with and without him.

While the subject matter of this documentary is important and it is a much watch for people who don't know a lot about the disease, I feel like it could of been a lot better but it does the job of getting the point across.
