My Falling Sickness

My Falling Sickness presents a personal and compelling look at the experiences of Santiago, who has faced uncontrollable epilepsy for 28 years. The documentary delves into his attempts to manage his condition through various medications and a significant hospitalization in 2010 aimed at locating the source of his seizures.

Instead of pursuing further medical interventions, Santiago chooses to embrace his body as it is, accepting the unpredictable nature of his epilepsy. This powerful narrative emphasizes the importance of personal acceptance and challenges the traditional medical approach to chronic illness. For collectors interested in thought-provoking documentaries, this film provides a unique perspective on living with a lifelong condition.
