Anyone watch this?

So sad listening to this man say about his mum who had Parkinsons and she used to live in confinement cos everyone thought it was contagious and her sister used to just push the meal to her so she didn't come near her 😓

So he was on the road non stop for almost 2 years?!?

It said in places they recreated his voice using AI
Does that mean the stroke affected his speech so he can't talk?
But I thought they filmed it before his stroke?

Yes I have those same questions......
Very moving documentary but left a few unanswered questions.
Those people without access to meds
It really is terrible.
