The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Poignant drama telling the true story of a man left paralysed in the prime of his life who showed incredible reserves of spiritual strength to author his memoirs just by blinking.
Poignant drama telling the real-life story of a man left paralysed in the prime of his life who went on to show incredible reserves of spiritual strength to author his memoirs. The editor of France's Elle magazine, Jean-Dominique Bauby was struck down in his 40s by a stroke that left him unable to move a muscle, yet did not affect his mental reflexes. He went on to write his autobiography just by blinking patterns - the only physical activity he could still perform - which followed an alphabetical code.
