The Film
Complicated is a documentary about the heartbreaking experiences of families of children with EDS who struggle to get proper care amidst immense suffering. Created by Emmy- and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Andrew Abrahams, Complicated tells the story of multiple families and highlights the work we are doing at the Norris lab as the hope for families like them all over the world.
Complicated premiered at Slamdance, a Sundance Film Festival in late Feburary 2025. We are working with the producers to promote the film as we believe it is a compelling and much needed look at the all-too-common experiences of patients with EDS and their families.
