OUR STORY
WHAT STARTED AS A DOCUMENTARY BECAME A BOLD POWERFUL MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE, WHICH EXISTS NOW AS THE TIN SOLDIERS GLOBAL FOP PATIENT SEARCH
THE DOCUMENTARY THAT STARTED IT ALL...
Tin Soldiers is an independent documentary film, that shares the deeply personal story of people afflicted with one of the world’s most rare conditions and the search to identify those still living in the dark – the victims whose symptoms defy the understanding of those around them.
A compelling tale of courage set against the backdrop of medical science, this is the story of real life ‘Tin Soldiers’ overcoming human frailty to show that within a body, sabotaged, can surge the spirit of a survivor.
The film travels from the dusty streets of South African townships to Brazil, The United States, the United Kingdom and France, documenting the experiences of patients and their families as they walk differing paths, while sharing a common purpose: to prevail.
Interwoven with the personal stories of challenge and triumph is the narrative of medical science, highlighting the global effort to unlock the mystery that is FOP, as well as the search for those sufferers who remain undiagnosed.
