Breaking the silence: a video

by Karen Siegel, United States of America

http://sweetresolution.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/break-the-silence/

 

Break the Silence is a short film about diabetes seen from the perspectives of 25 IDF Youth Ambassadors from around the globe.

The video was filmed in December 2006 during the IDF Diabetes Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. The 25 Youth Ambassadors were gathered for a workshop to create an action plan for how they as young people living with diabetes can support the UN resolution on diabetes and contribute to ensure that the resolution is implemented in their home countries.

Great video - I particularly liked how it was told from the perspective of young people affected by diabetes. Personal stories are a great way of engaging with the audience. What's been the reactions from the people you've shown it to?

Only just got around to watching this now, but it's a great video. Especially important is how it stresses the need for prevention - healthy diet and exercise - so that diabetes complications can be avoided.
