(DVD, 64 minutes)

“Sophie’s Search for a Cure” chronicles

one woman’s struggle with an untreatable,

fatal neurodegenerative disorder.

The video documents the effects of

Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) –

a “Parkinson-Plus” disorder -- on

Sophie and her family, and visualizes

her longing for irretrievable health.

Racing against time and her diminishing abilities,

Sophie searches the medical community,

online support groups, and the political system,

looking for a light at the end of the tunnel.

In the process, she becomes involved in fundraising

for research and raising awareness of MSA.

Throughout the journey, Sophie’s spirit and

joy of life touches all who encounter her.
