Series 9: 7. Locked-in Boy
This informative, moving film is authored by Jonathan, an extraordinary, smart, funny, ten-year-old, who for the first eight years of his life was 'locked' in his body - unable to speak or communicate.\n\nThis is the first My Life film authored by a 'non verbal' child. It begins with Jonathan choosing one of his best friends to be 'the voice' of his film, telling his story through Jonathan's own words.\n\nIn the last two years, with his mum's help and through his own will and determination Jonathan has learned to 'talk' with his eyes using a special spelling board. He says his mum believed in him, even when the doctors had given up. Now 'unlocked' Jonathan takes us on his very personal mission to give a voice to other children unable to express themselves, from presenting his petition to a government minister to reading his own story to his hero Michael Morpurgo.\n\nThis is a heart-warming and inspiring film which will give the audience an insight into the often-hidden world of children living with profound disability.
