"If the physical body - the brain, is damaged, does this extend to damage to the self?" This question is at the heart of Netflix's new original documentary film, MY BEAUTIFUL BROKEN BRAIN as we follow Lotje's Sodderland's incredible story of rehabilitation and recovery from a traumatic hemorrhagic stroke.

The film is a personal voyage into the complexity, fragility and wonder of the human brain. Check out key art at left and the official trailer below!

Lotje finds herself starting again in an alien world, bereft of language and logic, fighting not to be defined by her limitations, rather the endless possibilities of life. This feature documentary takes us on a genre-twisting tale that is by turns excruciating and exquisite - from the devastating consequences of a first-time neurological experiment, through to the extraordinary revelations of her altered sensory perception.

Executive producer David Lynch adds, "I am thrilled to join Lotje and Sophie in sharing My Beautiful Broken Brainwith the world. The brain is truly fascinating and much in the way that our brains are able to achieve total coherence -- finding enlightenment and fulfillment, you will surely be moved and inspired by this journey of self-rediscovery."

The film was co-directed by Sophie Robinson and Lotje Sodderland and is an official selection of the 2016 SXSW Film Festival and launches globally on Netflix March 18.
