Unfixed

Unfixed is a feature documentary about the stories of humans who are in various stages of learning to thrive with extreme, chronic, incurable conditions. Our culture is obsessed with fixer-upper stories, miracle cures and answers but many wake up each day without any of these. Our world needs more models for how to live a powerful, unfixed life - a life liberated from fixed notions of how we must feel in order to live fully. Unfixed humans may be in pain but they are learning to integrate it into a larger definition of themselves. Unfixed humans feel the limitations of their body but their spirits are bold and positively engaged with themselves, their families or their communities. Unfixed aims, through the telling of these stories, to uncover the essential truths in humans who are finding ways, grandiose or intimate, public or private, to make their own unfixed path a heroic one.
