For D Is For Distance Documentary Movie

For D Is For Distance Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: D is for Distance is deeply personal and highly moving. Using a montage of contemporary family and travel footage, with archival clips from early cinema history, it dramatically yet poetically illustrates what has happened since Louis Petit, at 12 years old, was suddenly struck with a seemingly incurable and life-threatening rare form of epilepsy, which wiped out his memory of childhood. A rumination on memory and a meditation on cinema, the NHS and family relationships, the doc film also offers a frank and uncompromising insight into medical bureaucracy and the stigma and ignorance still surrounding epilepsy. D is for Distance is co-directed by the filmmakers & both of Louis' parents Emma Matthews (a film editor making her directorial debut) & Christopher Petit (director of Radio On, Flight to Berlin, Chinese Boxes, London Orbital, The Film That Buys the Cinema).
