EPILEPSY is a highly anticipated documentary film about epilepsy and SUDEP, dedicated to the mission of finding a cure. A documentary feature film of this scale has never been done before.
“EPILEPSY,” a groundbreaking documentary film, is set to captivate audiences with its heartfelt exploration into the lives impacted by epilepsy and the lesser-known phenomenon of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). Directed by Sabine Kahwaji, herself diagnosed with epilepsy at a young age, the film promises to be a pioneering venture in both scale and depth within the documentary genre.
Filming commenced in May, with Sabine Kahwaji leading a dedicated team on a global mission to shed light on the experiences of families and individuals affected by epilepsy. Through personal narratives and expert insights, “EPILEPSY” aims to raise awareness and foster a deeper understanding of the condition.
“I was diagnosed at the age of 9, and filmmaking became my passion at 13,” shares Sabine Kahwaji. “My journey with epilepsy has been challenging, but it has fueled my determination to bring this important story to the forefront.”
Despite facing initial challenges, including rejections from local grants due to perceived lack of urgency surrounding epilepsy, Sabine and her team remain undeterred. They are committed to completing the documentary and making a significant impact on how epilepsy is perceived and understood worldwide.
