FILM

This video is part of a series of portraits of aphasia patients filmed during their logopedic therapy. Aphasia is an illness that affects the language centres of the brain, causing the partial or total loss of the ability to communicate verbally. “The confrontation with aphasic patients made me understand how speech is not an obvious fact. Normally speaking people generally don’t stop to think about the words and ideas that come out of their mouths. But aphasic people often fail to go beyond the first letter of the first word of the idea they want to express”. (SA)
