This documentary is a must-watch. It was gripping from the start; following the journey of Lara Bloom as she attempts to run the London Marathon, whilst raising awareness and providing an insight into Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. By showing people with the condition that it is possible to push yourself to achieve more, it sends a positive message not only to the EDS community but to others suffering with life limiting conditions. The journey Lara takes is a powerful reminder to all to remember to set goals and live life to the maximum. As such, this documentary was moving and inspirational as well as being informative and educational.

A must-watch.

A thoroughly emotional account of what life is like for those living with EDS; an important documentary to raise awareness and educate on a condition which is hugely mis and underdiagnosed.
Lara is inspirational and the documentary is deeply moving. Featuring interviews with those who have lost family to the vascular type of EDS, and those whose lives have been damaged by a lack of knowledge and acceptance of the condition by the medical profession - heartbreaking and honest.
It is shocking to hear what some members of the EDS community have had to endure to finally get to a diagnosis, and how, with the right medical team and acknowledgement of the condition, their lives could have been very different.
