Dexter’s NF Documentary Project

Dexter, who has Neurofibromatosis Type 1, is currently studying Film and Media at Ravensbourne University, London. Dexter is the first person in his family with NF, with neither of his parents having it. First diagnosed as a child he spent a lot of time growing up being self-conscious about his NF but has since learned that; we are all different and we should show our differences proudly.

Dexter's documentary project called on members of the NF community to share their daily experiences of living with Neurofibromatosis. Living with the condition himself, he wanted to focus on exactly how people are affected, getting people to open up about the condition so that people can understand the impacts in greater detail and on a more personal level. The documentary is now live and can be viewed below.

The documentary’s theme is ‘Identity & Disability. Diving deep into the truths of disability and the perception of disabilities, as at times disabilities can be generalised as well as misunderstood.

NTUK supports Dexter in this project as part of our Shine A Light Campaign 2021 "Support the NF Community Make Their Voices Heard in a Changing World" 

Please like, comment, and share Dexter’s insightful and honest work with other members of our NF community.
