ill, actually

Documentary short film

12 mins 

A ‘superhero’, a YouTuber and a cam-girl explain why they choose to share - or hide- their chronic illnesses online. When you're too ill for IRL, where do you turn? 

A BBC Arts and BFI commission, "ill, actually" was produced by Glowworm Films in collaboration with Plimsoll Productions. It premiered at the BFI and was broadcast on BBC 4 before moving on BBC i-Player, and into the BFI's National Archives.
