More Than Walking: a filmaker's SCI journey

8/19/2011 12:00:00 AM

Jonathan Sigworth - the youngest of three brothers - received a spinal cord injury at age 19 while studying in northern India in February 2006. Though the injury left him paralyzed in his hands and below his arms, Jonathan and his family continue to coordinate with staff at India’s Spinal Injuries Center in Delhi - where Jonathan received treatment - in order to initiate efforts that support SCI persons who are in the process of rehabilitation and seeking independence. ESCIP is the unofficial name for these efforts.
