Screening of ‘Rosie’ a 34-minute documentary.
The documentary is about recovery from stroke, rehabilitation and community, filmed by Rosie Tween and Dominique Chadwick. This film supports our work in developing stroke services in Sierra Leone and is part of our fundraising activities (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/supportingstrokeserviceinsierrialeone), but also stimulates lots of thoughts, ideas and conversations about improving patient pathways.
Nearly 9 years ago, Rosie Tween, was working as a Clinical Nurse specialist in a busy hematology-oncology unit at Addenbrooke’s Hospital when, out of the blue, she had a spinal stroke whilst cycling to work. That day, the hospital consultant told her that it was unlikely she would ever walk again. Since then Rosie has been completely wheelchair dependent.
The film follows her present day to day life in Cambridge among family, friends, and members of the wider community.
Dominique Chadwick is a local independent documentary filmmaker who has filmed on humanitarian issues in many parts of the world for the last 25 years.
