“The project is a feature length documentary centered on Martin Pistorius and based on his NYT best-selling memoir GHOST BOY. Martin came down with a mysterious illness when we was twelve years old, and within months had fallen into a coma from which doctors said he would never wake up. His parents, unable to pull the plug though, got him into long term care, and around his 16th birthday he woke up – but inside his own mind, where he was trapped, unable to communicate to the outside world, for several years.
The documentary recounts this harrowing ordeal, and the incredible story of his journey back to life.”
