Lives are forever changed when African men and women experience seizures. Demonized and ostracized, those living with epilepsy are forced to live in the shadows because of a suffocated stigma. The Curse of Stigma follows the life story of 4 Kenyans living with epilepsy. These brave characters share their stories of oppression and assault to break the curse of stigma that surrounds their condition. There is hope in sharing our stories. There is hope for the 10 million living with epilepsy in sub-saharan Africa through storytelling.
