Netflix has announced the pick-up of MY BEAUTIFUL BROKEN BRAIN, an official selection of the 2016 SXSW Film Festival.
Lotje’s Sodderland’s incredible story of rehabilitation and recovery from a traumatic hemorrhagic stroke.
The film follows the story of Lotje Sodderland, who suffered a severe stroke back in 2011. MY BEAUTIFUL BROKEN BRAIN “is a personal voyage into the complexity, fragility and wonder of the human brain. Lotje finds herself starting again in an alien world, bereft of language and logic, fighting not to be defined by her limitations, rather the endless possibilities of life. This feature documentary takes us on a genre-twisting tale that is by turns excruciating and exquisite – from the devastating consequences of a first-time neurological experiment, through to the extraordinary revelations of her altered sensory perception.”
Executive producer David Lynch adds, “I am thrilled to join Lotje and Sophie in sharing My Beautiful Broken Brain with the world. The brain is truly fascinating and much in the way that our brains are able to achieve total coherence — finding enlightenment and fulfillment, you will surely be moved and inspired by this journey of self-rediscovery.”
MY BEAUTIFUL BROKEN BRAIN will premiere globally on Netflix on March 18.
