    This compassionate documentary follows patients experiencing four conditions; Epilepsy, Motor Neurone Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's Disease as they undergo testing, surgery, and treatment in the name of research. Their futures may be written but their present day stories are ones of resilience, love, and family in the face of huge adversity.
    Stories of resilience, love, and family in the face of adversity. Over 700,000 people in Ireland suffer from some form of neurological condition. Most of these conditions are debilitating, degenerative, or incurable. As this number is set to increase as the population ages, the importance of brain research cannot be underestimated.

    As someone who suffers from Kleine-Levin Syndrome, I can say that coming to terms with the idea of your own brain betraying you is one of the most terrifying and yet strengthening things you can go through. I don't have symptoms nearly as bad as most of the folks documented here, but I felt every word they were saying on a deep level.

      Its something the majority of people who have a healthy brain take for granted and also exploit it with drugs and alcohol. I, for one, am very grateful

      Terrifying yes, strengthening quite the opposite for most brain diseases. Especially, having had encephalopathy that produces delirium, forgetting birthday at 38, incapable of forming simple sentences, having no circadian rhythm so you don't sleep, stopped sweating, don't know where you are and incapable of recognizing your own reflection off the driver side window while you're driving, can't tell left from right lane which becomes a guessing game at 55 mph. Getting lost in the produce section. It's only been debilitating and now drained my finances, so I can't even choose to eat the foods that my brain needs to hobble along. Strengthening comes from resources and manageable conditions. I don't think anyone that has had these experiences personally or the one's having to sacrifice their time and resources to care for someone would ever say it's strengthening. Neurodegenerative diseases are beyond debilitating like ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's (early-onset 40s), CTE (only diagnosable post mortem), Autoimmune diseases like Lupus, RA, MS, autoimmune encephalopathy your brain destroys your brain cells losing comforting memories. Also, I got to watch a coworker who was 21 shrivel up and die of cancer b/c they like dumping pollutants everywhere in our soil. Their is no strength in that. It's horrifying for all that have to deal with this. Strengthening sounds like a t-shirt slogan or bumper sticker or a walk for some rich a**hole. It's weakening is the appropriate response.

    Epilepsy. Five years ago they removed my right temporal lobe. The seizures are greatly reduced. However, my life was changed beyond recognition. I'm not sure I will recover from the grief of all the losses... including my marriage to the love of my life. He says I am no longer the person he married.

    The "why not me" got me. Wow. How 3 words can weigh so much.

      And it's a reasonable speculation that a majority of viewers do not watch for that reason, but for other content, and, that a majority would be uncomfortable (at the least) with that being fully depicted. I don't claim to know that as a factual statement though.
