what people say about "Musically Medicated":

"I absolutely love this film! It generated a wide range of emotions in me— it's powerful and beautifully put together. The honesty of it is fantastic, and it flows seamlessly from scene to scene." —Gord Carley, author of Surviving Adversity: Living With Parkinson's Disease

"Through the eyes of a young musician diagnosed with Parkinson's, the documentary Musically Medicated follows him into the dark and trembling soul of the disease where he tries to cope with losing the ability to control his body and mind. We experience the transformation of a young man into a new life where medication is the only way to live. Filled with great photography, heartfelt music and space for interpretation, Gabi Kislat made a sensitive and respectful documentary where she takes the viewer softly by the hand and guides him through the unexplored waters of this tabooed disease. This documentary will echo in your head." —Ben Scharf, writer, director
