We are a small group of Television production students. We are creating a short documentary detailing the struggle young people face every day when managing their Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
what is our film about?
Our film details the day to day struggles young people with JIA go through whilst managing their condition. We will be following the stories of 4 individuals who have been diagnosed with the condition at young ages, who all have their own experiences with JIA. We will be shedding light on a condition that over 15,000 children and young people struggle with every day in the UK.
Why is this film important to us?
This film is important for us to make because our Producer, Liam, has first-hand experience with the condition as his long-time girlfriend Lauren has JIA and was diagnosed at 2 and a half. Liam moved in with Lauren, 2 years ago and started noticing how much the condition affects her daily life. This inspired him to share her story and raise awareness to a condition that is rarely considered in everyday life.
