Overview
My Beautiful Broken Brain is a 2014 documentary film about the life of thirty-four-year-old Lotje Sodderland after she suffered a hemorrhagic stroke as a result of a congenital vascular malformation in November 2011.

The feature documentary is a profoundly personal voyage into the complexity, fragility, and wonder of the human brain. It takes viewers on a genre-twisting tale that is by turns excruciating and exquisite, moving from the devastating consequences of a first-time neurological experiment through to the extraordinary revelations of her altered sensory perception.
