One Breath is an educational documentary about asthma. I was diagnosed in January 2005 with severe asthma. Since my diagnosis I have found that many people have no idea what the disease is or what an asthmatic goes through. My goal as a filmmaker is to educate people about the severity of the disease and give them a glimpse into the life of people who suffer with asthma. The target population for this film is people of all ages, races, and gender. The disease does not discriminate in its impact. My film addresses the scope of the problem, signs and symptoms, what to do, good asthma control, skills management, latest research and the future. I also found that there are no support groups for people who are diagnosed as adults This film addresses a national need because there is currently no information available related to the needs of adults suffering from asthma as verified by the American Lung Association (who fully support this project).
