Robert Nostri’s Tribute: A Young Filmmaker with Cystic Fibrosis in 1963
Despite living with cystic fibrosis at a time when less than 10% of people with the disease lived to adulthood, 22-year-old musician and filmmaker Robert Nostri dedicated his last few months to creating a short documentary about patient life at the Los Angeles Children's Hospital in 1963. His film is a rare early example of a film shaped by lived experience of disability and remains touching today.
Note: I'm not the author of this post... but I do know the author and provided my own perspectives on Nostri and his film as a person with CF myself.
