LIT LECTURER DRAWING ON EXPERIENCE OF SUFFERING BRAIN INJURY TO MAKE DOCUMENTARY
An LIT lecturer is drawing on his experience of suffering a brain injury to make a documentary on the subject.
Simon McGuire, a film and broadcast editor, was struck by a brain haemorrage out of the blue in 2016, and wants to use his road to recovery to raise awareness of the issue.
He’s looking to speak to other sufferers and their families for the production.
But he also understands that some of those people may find telling their stories difficult.
