Fragile people

A day in life of someone with osteogenesis imperfecta – or 'brittle bone disease'

A day in life of someone who lives with osteogenesis imperfecta – or brittle bone disease – is fraught with risk. Even the tiniest movement can lead to serious fractures. This documentary gives an insight into the strong community of those with the disease, and how neither young nor old are held back by their disability.
