I Am Breathing

About This Movie

I Am Breathing is a raw and poignant documentary that dives deep into the life of Neil Platt, a man facing the harsh realities of Motor Neurone Disease. Shot with an intimate lens, it captures Neil's reflections on life, love, and the absurdities of everyday tasks like ending a mobile contract. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with Neil's thoughts, which often meander from profound insights to dark humor. The atmosphere is heavy yet oddly uplifting, as Neil plans his own funeral in a way that feels both surreal and deeply human. It’s not flashy; just a man and his musings, presented in a way that feels distinctly real and unvarnished. A true testament to the complexities of life and impending death.
