Emma Matthews' and Christopher Petit’s (Radio On) unique and tender new film is a meditation on cinema, the NHS and family relationships.
D is for Distance tells the story of the filmmakers' son Louis, his debilitating epilepsy and the journey to Europe to find the right treatment, through personal, travelogue and archival film footage and Jodhi May’s narration.
'A deeply personal movie: painful, complex, challenging and engaging'
