In cinemas on 22 August, Take My Hand is a powerful Australian feature film with multiple sclerosis as a central part of the storyline.
On a special episode of The Raw Nerve we talk to the creators, real-life partners and inspiration for the film.
Take My Hand Executive Producer Claire Jensz and her husband Writer and Director John Raftopoulos discuss the challenges of making the film and the very personal nature of sharing their real-life love story with the world.
Claire and John reflect on their own journey, Claire living with MS, and John in his role as a carer, and the impact it has had on their lives.
They also discuss the importance of raising awareness about MS and the insights they hope audiences will take away from the film; messages of hope and resilience as well as a better understanding of multiple sclerosis.
