Giving Back Breath

A poet on his deathbed.
A disease that refused to explain itself.

And a scientist who spent decades chasing the question at the center of the disorder. Answering it took obsession, failure and faith that the next experiment might finally matter.

Giving Back Breath is a 20-minute documentary about the long road from suffering to discovery — and the lives changed along the way.
