About the film.  “What would you do with a second chance? At seventeen, Camila got too used to winning. Smart and beautiful, she has managed to achieve every goal. She loves swimming and doesn’t know failure. However, the water that has given her success in the recent past now leads her to the biggest setback of her life: a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) that will force her to reinvent herself with courage, humor, and love.

Inspired by a true story of bravery and resilience, Camila’s Awakening offers an enlightening way to discuss how we view disability and its portrayal in the media as well as a refreshing look at one of the world’s main causes of acquired disability which is surprisingly more frequent among young people than imagined.” -  PRAGDA
