The Documentary "Shaken"

I had the opportunity to view "Shaken," a documentary about Parkinson's disease (PD). The film is powerful, touching and heartbreaking. Being a Parkinson's patient and having had the same Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery as Paul in the film, "Shaken" accurately depicts the challenges of living with PD as well as the limitations of this surgery, and at the same time, inspires hope for the future. The film's main message is that DBS is not a cure, and we need a cure
