Documentary about hemispherectomy surgery

6/27/2025

 
Veteran award-winning documentary filmmaker Ken Kobre's most recent work, "Life with Half a Brain," is a one-hour documentary about patients and families living their journey with seizures, seeking surgical care for epilepsy, undergoing epilepsy surgery, and  aiming to live life to the fullest after surgery. We intersect when my patients and their families shared their story with hemispherectomy surgery in the hopes of helping others. 

Thank you, Ken, for sharing the incredible stories and for highlighting the hope and humanity in our lives.
