the full catastrophe

Tracey Leonard’s Autobiography, The Full Catastrophe was chosen for this documentary, as it is a truly uplifting story. It is centred around her years as a nurse, working in missionaries throughout India and Northern Australia. Sadly her life is altered profoundly when she is involved in a severe accident, one which leaves her as a quadriplegic. I believe that her story should be shared with all, to enlighten people on such a strong and …

…misfortune, yet her spirits remained intact. People should be informed of her achievements and learn from her attitude to life. My concepts would work well in portraying her story and bringing to life her undying spirits. The documentary was kept as objective as possible, without straying and giving a one sided view. The audience was positioned into believing Tracey Leonard led a rewarding, adventurous life, which, in a split second was tragically and permanently altered.
