Epilepsy Ontario is excited to announce On the Edge: Living with Epilepsy Road Tour. Additional screenings will take place in Ottawa, Durham Region (Whitby) and London. Each film screening will include a facilitated conversation including a clinician, a person who has epilepsy and community epilepsy representative.
On the Edge: Living with Epilepsy is a documentary told through the eyes of the filmmaker, Louis Stanislaw, people who have epilepsy and family members. It tells the painful truths, misunderstandings, and difficulties of living with epilepsy at every turn; from family life to school, to leaving home, and starting a career and forming lasting bonds. On the Edge also examines the medical and social progress we are making. For more information about the film and the director, click here.
