About the Documentary: Stories of love connect different groups of people who celebrate Fractured Anatomy singer and guitarist Jared Ricks, a young man who lived bravely despite a diagnosis of drug-resistant epilepsy. Following his untimely death, Jared’s loved ones gather together to throw a tribute concert in his honour, raising awareness for epilepsy and funds toward more Seizure Investigation Unit beds at Vancouver General Hospital. The film illuminates the challenges of living with epilepsy, both for the patient and their community members, and what can be done to better support them all.
