In 2007, former Bond girl Maryam d'Abo suffered a brain hemorrhage. The experience inspired her to partner with her husband to create a film about survivors of brain injuries, giving a sense of hope to those isolated by the disease. As she guides audiences through her personal journey of recovery, Maryam speaks with others who have suffered brain injury, including Robert McCrum, former literary editor of The Observer, jazz guitarist Pat Martino, and music producer Quincy Jones.

The film features the testimony of eminent neurosurgeons and neuroscientists including Professor V.S. Ramachandran and Baroness Susan Greenfield along with firsthand stories that celebrate human life force and the will to survive.
 
 
“This is a thought-provoking, almost poetic, meditation on that fragile 3Ib bundle of muscles and nerves that makes us who we are.”
