TWISTED tells the stories of people who live with dystonia, a neurological disorder that forces muscles to twist into abnormal, often painful, movements or postures.

Together, these individuals try to answer the question, when you are trapped inside your body, what will set you free?

Guest Speakers: Ochsner Clinic Neurologist, Dr. J. Rao and Don LeBlanc, Community Resident

ITVS Community Cinema features monthly community screenings of upcoming Independent Lens Films, co-presented with leading community organizations working on related issues.
