JOURNEY HOME: A DIALYSIS STORY

This 48-minute documentary explores an under-used medical treatment that transforms lives.

Two men buck convention to take responsibility for their treatment at home, rather than in a medical centre. At times the hurdles appear insurmountable, but, with the support of a devoted medical team, they don't give up. Entwined personal narratives chart the ups-and-downs of their journeys.

Kidney disease affects one in ten people globally. The financial cost of treatment is in the billions. The loss of quality-of-life is impossible to tally. This journey of triumph provides hope.

TO BE RELEASED IN EARLY 2019
