CINEMA X - A project by TEDxNapierBridge
Unrest is an profound and moving film which has played to sold-out audiences at film festivals around the world, with many coming to see Unrest two or three times, bringing along family and friends. We at TEDxNapierBridge are passionate about Unrest’s message and know that many members of our community are as well.
In this story of love and loss, newlyweds Jennifer and Omar search for answers as they face unexpected obstacles with great heart. Often confined by her illness to the private space of her bed, Jen is moved to connect with others around the globe. Utilizing Skype and social media, she unlocks a forgotten community with intimate portraits of four other families suffering similarly. Jennifer Brea’s wonderfully honest portrayal asks us to rethink the stigma around an illness that affects millions of people. Unrest is a vulnerable and eloquent personal documentary that is sure to hit closer to home than many could imagine.
