Edinburgh premiere for Neil Platt motor neurone disease film A film depicting the life and death of a man from Fife will premiere at the Edinburgh International Film festival as part of efforts to raise awareness of the illness that killed him. Neil Platt was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2008 and chose to document his last months with his family before he tragically died a year later. Mr Platt wanted to show the effect having the degenerative condition can have, not only on the sufferer, but also on their family and friends. The film, I Am Breathing, is a heartbreaking account of how Mr Platt dealt with his diagnosis and degeneration towards death but directors Emma Davie and Morag McKinnon say Neil's sense of humour shone through till the end. The UK premiere on June 20 coincides with Global Motor Neurone Disease day and the filmmakers are offering screenings anywhere in the world, to any size audience - with over 100 already organised in 25 different countries.
