“Family means everyone helps each other, everyone is there for each other, even in hard times.”
Family means so much. People who are part of our lives and who enrich them.
Parents, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces.
But family is not only that group of people to whom we are biologically and emotionally tied. Friends, schoolmates, colleagues also become part of our family—of those shared journeys and feelings that belong to life.
“Family” is the theme of the World Duchenne Awareness Day 2025.
Three stories are at the heart of the documentary that will be launched on this occasion.
The journey begins in Japan, where Nana builds a future full of bonds for her little son, supported by her parents, the school, and a newly born association created to improve the lives of people living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
It continues in Mauritius, where a father weaves ties and change in the memory of his son, promoting a great social transformation.
The journey ends in Greece, with three brothers growing up together, nourished by dreams and future.
The documentary, directed by Nicoletta Madia and produced by Arim Communication, will be released on September 7 at 2:00 pm CEST on www.worldduchenneday.org.
