Shaking Hands with the Devil
This short documentary follows wildlife photographer and Parkinson’s sufferer David Plummer as he travels through Kenya to meet those who have been marginalised, stigmatised and persecuted for having Parkinson’s Disease.
Produced by Dr Natasha Fothergill-Misbah, and partly funded by TraPCAf, it highlights the experience of people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers in Kenya.
UHURU
UHURU is an intimate and emotive portrayal of life with Parkinson's disease in Tanzania. In a country with limited healthcare resources we follow the complex journeys of three people with Parkinson's. From the devastating impact of their symptoms to the struggles of obtaining an accurate diagnosis, we finally see the difference access to life-changing medication can make.
The documentary UHURU is an output of the Transforming Parkinson's Care in Africa (TraPCAf) research grant at Newcastle University.
