Overview

Positive for Huntington's is a deeply personal documentary in which Egyptian journalist and television presenter Yousef Gamal El-Din speaks publicly for the first time about his family's experience with Huntington's disease. His mother was diagnosed with the devastating neurodegenerative condition in 2007, and over the years the illness has reshaped the lives of everyone around her. Now Yousef faces a 50% chance of having inherited the gene himself — and with it, the possibility of sharing his mother's fate. The film is an unflinching account of pain, solidarity, and fragile hope, exploring what it means to live under the shadow of a hereditary illness with no cure. It stands as both a tribute to those affected and a call for greater awareness of Huntington's disease in the Arab world.
