We’re very proud to have scored this powerful documentary about a young woman’s decision to get tested for HD.
Twitch is the first documentary to follow the life of an individual going through genetic testing for Huntington’s Disease (HD), a genetic neurological brain disorder that destroys the victim’s ability to walk, talk, think, and reason, eventually leading to death. The film will chronicle the emotional, political, economic, social and medical journey through this important test, as well as the impact on the individual’s future as well as day-to-day life after receiving the test results. The documentary will explain the science through interviews with major Huntington’s Disease experts and activists who will provide deeper insight into the complexities and hopes buried in the disease. Huntington’s has great stigma surrounding it; solving its mystery could potentially lead to the cures of not only HD but also several other neurological illnesses such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimers and ALS. This documentary will highlight the pressures people, especially young adults, face when given the chance to be handed their medical fate.
