Summary:

A remarkable programme that reveals what it's like to suffer and then try to live with the most common hidden disability to affect young adults - traumatic brain injury. Exploring its devastating impact on lives, careers and relationships, Charlie Elmore highlights how society treats young adults who are dealing with its wide-ranging and not always obvious symptoms. The winter sports instructor was injured in a snowboarding accident and, after being helicoptered to hospital and placed in an induced coma, spent months in rehabilitation. She made an amazing recovery - even getting back on a snowboard a year later - but she's still coming to terms with how her brain has changed and knows that not everyone is lucky enough to get the right treatment. This compelling documentary follows Charlie as she retraces the steps of her rehabilitation and meets three other young people recovering from recent brain injuries. Together, they embark on a mission to improve our understanding, prevention and treatment of this life-changing disability.
