Scleroderma is a rare skin disease that affects one in one million people worldwide. Among the injured is the Lebanese Marina Farhat (32 years old), a graduate of journalism and media from Al-Azm University in Tripoli.
Marina participated in the “Loyac Film Camp 2022” workshop, wrote her story and produced it in a documentary entitled “My Body Eats Me” directed by Stephanie Tadros, with the aim of conveying her voice and story and raising awareness about this rare disease and how to confront and deal with it.
The film was shown to the public at the end of the workshop last week and won four awards: Best Text, Best Writing, Best Editing and Best Photography.
The journalist Zaven Kyumjian interviewed Marina Farhat on the program “Bongorin with Zaven” via “Voice of All Lebanon”, and she talked about the nature of her illness and the details of the film. You can listen to the interview through the following link:
