How do you tell the story of someone who’s in your family but doesn’t have a voice to say whether or not they want that story told? If you’re filmmaker, Kirsten Johnson who has a younger sister with Down Syndrome, Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, you don’t follow her around with a camera, in fact, you don’t film her at all. Instead, you painstakingly hand-draw over a thousand drawings, you personally recreate distressing incidents from the past, you bring characters to life in imaginative scenarios that illuminate what’s it’s like to have someone in your life whose personal reality you can only begin to fathom. A truly unique method of storytelling that explores a challenging subject matter with humour, empathy and depth. |
