Life with CHARGE

Children with CHARGE - a film by Rob Last

Rob Last AM captured a record of eight children who had been diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome. In 1993, he filmed these eight young people and followed their progress again in 2000 and 2007.

These extraordinary people are: Anthony, Julia, Yasmin, Brianna, Talisa, Ellen, Sophia and Andrea. In 1993 he focused on their communication and gross motor development, and in 2000 and 2007 he focussed on broader issues. He captures their spark, their skills, their challenges and we hear about their hopes and dreams for the future.

All of the eight short videos are available on You Tube.
