BBC Video Nation Joanna's documentary |
A few weeks before the Great North Run I was asked by Trai Anfield our new patron if I would like to take part in Video Nation, making a short film for the BBC about my experience in this years run.
Although many of you will have seen Trai presenting the weather on Look North she also now produces Video Nation for this area. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it has been set up to give individuals a chance to tell their story, looking straight into the camera lens, talking about something that’s interesting and personal to themselves. Trai then edits the short film and it is loaded onto the BBC Website. I agreed with Trai that this was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss. As a result of the film and the level of coverage on the BBC website this was an opportunity for all individuals to see and recognise the challenges and frustrations of living with ME everyday.
