My Story of C

The Mediabox YourFilm Competition was launched in December 2009, and awarded 10 filmmakers £500 and support from a BAFTA mentor to make their own film on a subject of their choice.

"My Story of C" is the winning film from the competition. When Jazzy de Lisser was just 13, doctors told her she had the liver of a middle-aged alcoholic. She had known for 10 years that her mum passed chronic liver disease hepatitis C to her at birth. Jazzy turned her video diary into her award-winning short film My Story of C, which captures the highs and lows of her treatment, from promising test results, lying in bed in agony, to blazing rows with her mum.

Jazzy said, Id never met anyone my age going through this and thought I could show people what its like. One day I want to be able to say I have had hepatitis C and Ive beaten it.

Well produced, full of vital information and realistically shows what treatment is like. This disease is one that can be beaten and people need to take heart and take action. Get tested and treat if you are able to.

This is powerful and needs to be shown in schools. Wake up the world. Praying for SVR to all heppers. My God, she's a baby. These are our children. Why does no one know about HCV?? Spread the word.
