Artist Statement: “I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2005 at the age of twenty-six. For the past few years, my ability to walk has been slowly deteriorating and my vision is getting worse. When I Walk is a feature-length documentary about how my world – my hopes dreams and fears – have changed as I live with MS and as I grow to understand the nature of this neurological disorder and as I explore the options, both medical and alternative, for treatment that are currently available.”
