I think this is one of the best cystic fibrosis documentaries available (and one of the highest ranking on YouTube with 122,014 views when this blog post was written).
'Dying Young' focuses on a number of young adults with cystic fibrosis and their families, who are in different stages of their CF journey. It provides basic information about what cystic fibrosis is and the common treatments and hospitalizations - but it goes beyond that. It provides a glimpse of the human side of CF. Rather than watering down the struggles of individuals with CF and their families it shows the raw emotions that are part of life with cystic fibrosis. It shows how heart breaking cystic fibrosis can be.
Produced and created by Current TV it has been used by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to increase awareness of the disease (after its original airing on television). It is a video that may help those whose lives are not impacted by CF to gain a better understanding of cystic fibrosis in a way that statistics just can't show.
Note: Siobhan Ryan who was awaiting a lung transplant died on June 24th 2008. The day before this video was loaded to YouTube by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
