World Parkinson Congress film

From Afternoons, 2:24 pm on 15 October 2013

A couple of months ago we spoke to Andy McDowell, who after being diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 43, wrote a poem in an effort to explain the disease to his two young daughters. Such was the response to the poem, entitled 'Smaller', he made it into an animated film, with the help of others. He entered it in the video competition at the World Parkinson Congress, held in Montreal earlier this month.
