On the tip of my tongue

This documentary is about a devastating condition called Aphasia

9 out of 10 people have never heard of the term. Yet, all sufferers have had their lives immeasurably changed. Two thirds of stroke victims of all ages have Aphasia.

The film is based on Jonathan Hirons' story that started in January 2019 while he was attending in a meeting in London. He had trouble finding the words that he wanted to speak. CT and MRI scans showed that Jonathan had had a stroke caused by a bleed on the brain and was diagnosed with Aphasia.
