Institute History
Description
Jennifer, a Harvard PhD student, was signing a check when she suddenly found she could not write her own name. Months before her wedding, she became progressively ill, even losing the ability to sit in a wheelchair. When doctors insisted that her condition was psychosomatic, she picked up her camera to document her own story and those of four other patients struggling with the world’s most prevalent orphan disease.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
