JOUR NEY OF
HOPE
‘Journey of Hope’ is a short film created by Same but Different in partnership with Illumina. The film offers a glimpse in to the lives of families where children have received a rare genomic diagnosis. In a world where labels and diagnosis are often framed negatively, this film highlights the reality of both the search for a diagnosis and the impact of the diagnostic moment. Above all else it compels us to think about the power of genetic diagnosis to reframe how we view our relationships, how we understand each other and most significantly, how a different kind of ‘hope’ is possible. Filming for the ‘Journey of Hope’ took place in November 2019 and involved travelling from our studio in North Wales to Cambridge (UK), Gdansk (Poland) and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
