I still haven't made it - Living with illness when medicine remains out of reach
This is a deeply personal documentary that exposes the daily realities of living with a chronic autoimmune disease.
First diagnosed at 21, the filmmaker recounts a journey marked by uncertainty and systemic failure, as eight years later, they still cannot access the vital medication required for survival.
Blending diary-like intimacy with broader social resonance, the film reflects on the fragility of healthcare systems and the profound human costs of inaccessibility. By situating a personal narrative within a global context of patients struggling for dignity and care, the documentary amplifies a universal truth: survival should never depend on chance.
