Who Are You? | My Life

Duration: 27'54''

Synopsis

Documentary telling the incredible story of 14-year-old Hannah, who has one of the worst cases of face blindness in the UK. Everyone is a stranger to Hannah, and she doesn't know who her mum, dad, sisters and friends are when she sees them. Hannah can't even recognise her own face, and being face blind has cut her off from the world around her.
