The first movie of the education film series Brain Injury, the latest film Brain Injury: Voices of a Silent Epidemic guides viewers on a journey about brain injury—its causes and effects on people who are injured and those around them. Narrated by experts in the field and supported by interviews with people who live with brain injuries, this video was created for a broad audience including students, clinicians, caregivers, attorneys, policymakers, people with injury, as well as others seeking information about brain injury.
Many survivors of brain injury can appear to be completely uninjured in their day-to-day lives. However, altered brains often result in persistent hidden challenges that have dramatic and adverse effects on their daily life. Just as advances in neurology have improved the survival rate of those who sustain a brain injury, improved understanding of these injuries by laypersons and professionals will improve recovery and reintegration of brain injury survivors. By exploring the cases presented in this video and tying them back to today’s understanding of the brain, this silent epidemic is given a new voice that can speak to people unfamiliar to brain injury.
The film comes in two versions:
