Document Birsen

Birsen
Dirs. Pauline Van Tuyll & Karen Kuiper, Netherlands/Turkey 2014, 49m, UK Premiere

Birsen was not diagnosed with Autism until she was in her early twenties. Since then she has written a memoir, and works with researchers, doctors and teachers to create a better understanding of the condition. Juxtaposing her personal life with her public one as an activist and writer, this documentary is a candid portrait of an articulate, impassioned young woman.

Followed by a panel Q&A.
