Hattie

Directed by Tyro Heath

Sixteen-year-old Hattie goes out with friends, falls in love and lives her life in London to the full. To mark her last operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital to treat her life long condition of spina bifida, she's got her first tattoo and has decided to dye her hair a bright shade of blue. In this short documentary, Hattie bravely shares her experiences of growing up so far, asking questions about how the world views her and how she sees herself. She celebrates and confronts the challenges of her condition, experimenting and taking bold risks like other girls her age. An honest account of girlhood and disability.
