Bringing back their smiles | TV Maribor 15.3.2023

When I first went to the table tennis training held by patients with Parkinson's disease three years ago, I was just beginning to learn about the problems of this incurable disease. It was inspiring that some of them had never played sports before. After a few meetings with these very warm and simple people, who had increasingly high competitive goals, I started thinking about making a documentary film. Considering the very beneficial effects of playing table tennis, which are not known to the general public, the red thread of the film was given. The proximity of last year's World Cup, however, offered an excellent starting point for its central part. What are we talking about in Parkinson's disease? It is an incurable disease that progresses very slowly. One of its last stages is immobility, as patients no longer have to get out of bed. Three years ago, table tennis was included in the treatment of the disease. Slovenian patients who are playing table tennis prove that the disease can even regress! The documentary talks about the positive effects on patients with Parkinson's disease. The president of Ping Pong Parkinson, Nenad Bach, is responsible for the global development of this type of therapy, and for the development in Slovenia, Vinko Kurent, head of the Štajerski del Trepetlica, which has 1200 members and deals with Parkinson's patients. Gregor Komac, a top table tennis player and trainer of patients with Parkinson's disease, is an important part of successful therapy. In the three years he has been working with patients, he has learned a lot and, as he says, has become a better person.

TV program, ki ga v okviru Regionalnega centra RTV v Mariboru, ima svoj profesionalni začetek v letu 1968, ko je bilo tu ustanovljeno prvo dopisniško jedro z novinarjem in filmskim snemalcem (Darkom Marinom in Jocom Žnidaršičem).
Z uvedbo slovenskega TV dnevnika je začela rasti tudi potreba po širitvi dopisniške enote in tako je bilo z razvojem vse do danes. Iz dopisništva je v osemdesetih letih nastal TV studio, v zadnjem obdobju pa se je organizacijsko povezal z radijskim delom v novonastalem Regionalnem centru. Ves ta čas je ohranil programsko samostojnost znotraj TVS. S svojimi programskimi in produkcijskimi izdelki smo že dolgo nepogrešljivi v celotni ponudbi nacionalne TV Slovenija.
