WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MY AMAZING BRAIN: RICHARD’S WAR

Dr Kate Holmes, Assistant Director of the Stroke Association

‘Richard’s War’ should be essential viewing for everyone working in stroke. It’s a powerful and beautifully drawn portrait of stroke survival. We know that with the right support people can make very meaningful progress months, even years, after the stroke happens. The extent of Richard’s recovery defied the expectations of many and he could go further. Our knowledge and awareness of brain plasticity and potential recovery needs to improve. This fascinating film challenges our understanding about rehabilitation. Richard is truly extraordinary, but maybe he’s not an exception.

The Telegraph

“An extraordinary document of both personal fortitude and scientific endeavour…”
