My Beautiful Broken Brain (2014)

'My Beautiful Broken Brain' is a feature-length documentary about a profoundly personal voyage into the complexity, fragility and wonder of the human brain. Thirty-four-year-old Lotje Sodderland is lucky to have survived a hemorrhagic stroke but finds herself starting again in an alien world, bereft of language and logic. Miraculously, Lotje, a former director and writer, had the will and vision to begin documenting her own experience just two days after regaining consciousness. From unpredictable first-time neurological experiments, through to the extraordinary revelations of her altered mind, Lotje takes us on a genre-twisting tale that is by turns excruciating and exquisite.
