Abstract

For Regina Brain Awareness Week 2012, on Thursday, March 15th, 2012, the University of Regina Centre on Aging and Health is showing Julian Schnabel’s The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, which is the true story of French journalist and ELLE magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby. Based on his memoir, the film depicts Bauby’s life after a massive stroke that left him with locked-in syndrome. Mentally aware of his surroundings, but paralyzed except for movement in his left eye, Bauby wrote his memoir using only blinks of his left eyelid.
