| Video Discription | The Spirit of Infirmity, a Parkinson's Diary A 'Count West West Pictures' production www.peterleiss.com Duration 50 minutes Produced & Directed by Peter Leiss & Richard Moir Edited by Peter Leiss Videography: Peter Leiss Writer: Richard Moir & Peter Leiss Narration: Helen Morse & Paul English The Spirit of Infirmity, a Parkinson's Diary'. is a documentary produced by Richard Moir and Peter Leiss, members of the same team that created the award winning and Logie nominated The Bridge at Midnight Trembles. Focussing on Richard Moir and his courageous decision to undergo radical brain surgery to counteract the effects of Parkinson's disease, The Bridge at Midnight Trembles generated a tremendous response from viewers and health professionals alike when it was screened on SBS television in 2006. It subsequently screened in many countries around the world to similar acclaim. This current production, The Spirit of Infirmity has a much broader scope. While it continues Richard's ongoing journey, it also follows other people dealing with Parkinson's and portrays the variety of their challenges and methods of coping. In Newcastle we meet the Mills family, where the two young daughters are both affected by early Parkinson's symptoms. Like Richard, the girls have undergone deep brain surgery, but in order to have their operations they had to travel to France -- the only country that allows such an operation to be performed on young children. In Melbourne we meet Nerissa Mapes who was diagnosed at the age of 28, and has become an inspiring speaker and tireless fundraiser for Parkinson's Victoria and the Howard Florey Institute. Characteristic of her attitude to life, Nerissa's website greets you with the slogan, 'A Cure in My Lifetime'. The documentary examines the possibility of finding that cure, along the way meeting scientists who are passionate about tracking down such an elusive quarry, and other participants who, somewhat controversially, insist on the power of the sufferer's own mind to influence the healing process. The Spirit of Infirmity can perhaps be summarised as a story of physical, emotional and spiritual survival in the face of appalling odds.
