“Family: the heart of care”

The documentary of World Duchenne Organization launched on World Duchenne Awareness Day

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a condition that involves the whole family. And it is the family that lies at the heart of care—bonds that give strength and meaning to everything.

Family can also be the place where we grow and learn, like school. It can be found as well in the communities where we are supported and included.

These bonds help build the future, break down barriers and give courage.

The documentary “Family: the heart of care” highlights these connections through three stories collected in Japan, Mauritius and Greece.

Three different stories, united by the determination to always create the best possible life.

The documentary, promoted by the World Duchenne Organization, is directed by Nicoletta Madia and produced by Arim Communication.
