Los pájaros de la mina (The Bird in the Mine)


Los pájaros de la mina - trailer from Victor Moreno Garcia on Vimeo.

I really wanted to share this trailer because it really captures a lot of the lived experience of folks living with ES/MCS. 

Watching her faint at the office really brings back a lot of memories for me. One time I fainted at work and was sent to the hospital. The day that I experienced the chemical injured at work, I literally stumbled out of the building and collapsed on the grass outside. I am still recovering from that and it was two years ago.

Next, the endless specialists and doctors, testing, poking and proding and being told "nothing is wrong with you". 

I can also relate to the scenes with family and friends. The arguments, the lack of understanding, lack of compassion and defensiveness of everyone around you...

This is the best video representation that I have seen (to date) about the lived experience of ES/MCS.

Please share!
