I know this film will be like looking into the mirror of facing my own issues day to day, and that's a big part of our own process of healing in our own journey. When some one goes through a disability of any kind, it is a great burden on the whole family...it's not just you having the diseases, it the husband, the wife, the girlfriend, the boyfriend, etc. I know Jason promises us and eye opening revelation of all theses issues during his 90 minutes documentary. He reminds me of the deep search we all go through of finding answers, and looking anywhere and to anyone from some peace of mind. These pass couple of weeks, I have been so inspired by the life of Jason DaSilva..every since I heard of him, I have been looking up every piece of information online to peek just a little window into his soul. I already feel ..with out being broken..we can't receive blessing. It's the times when we can't put food on the table or not having enough money in the bank to pay our bills. These are the times when cracks and craves of our life fill up with something beyond ourselves.That one extra step, to see the invisible. Even though we wake up with aches and pains, we still get up. When everything is closing in all around us, we find that last bit of inner strength to push through....That's how Jason makes me feel right now, he is so inspiring..

I will share this as well, so that more with MS and their family and friends will be aware of it. Another well-written piece of yours!

I know you know better than most people of the hardships encountered with MS. Primary progressive is a type of MS that is unforgiving and cruel. I hope viewers take away Jason's indomitable spirit, and how he is using his abilities to make a difference.

Let us all pray that better medications and modalities are approved soon for PPMS.

Oh, I'm so glad you hopped over from LinkedIn. How wonderful!

I asked the PR people for POV/PBS for this film and here is their response. But before I copy and paste it, I know that the MS Society of Canada retweeted my post on Twitter, so I'd also suggest you contact them as well.

Thank you so much for reading my post, and I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did. Let me know what you think!

Here goes:
" If the person visits http://www.pbs.org/pov/wheniwalk, he/she can then
click ³check local listings.² I don¹t know what part of Canada, but
WNED-TV in Buffalo reaches Toronto; it airs on that station on June 29 at
10 or 11 PM, I believe. In Seattle, which reaches Vancouver, KCTS is
airing it on June 23 at 10:30 PM. We will also be streaming the film from
June 24-July 23."

Best always~
Cathy

I caught your post on LinkedIn and followed the link.
Thanks for posting this. I am very interested to see the film.
I see that PBS is running the film on the 23rd. Do you have any idea if it will be broadcast anywhere else?

I am in Canada and I am sure that there would be a vast audience that would be interested in this.
