Day by day – Chiara

Chiara Schlatter from Thun (Canton of Bern) tells her moving story in the new “Day by day” film. In 2016, the 27-year-old fell onto some stone steps. She has been paraplegic ever since.

In the short interview, you will gain insights into Chiara’s greatest challenge after the accident and find out her hopes for the future, among other things.

The “Day by day” film shows the audience three impressive life stories from people with a spinal cord injury. It highlights how varied and unique the Swiss Paraplegic Group’s network of services is. In addition to Chiara Schlatter, Dominique Hirschi and Peter Hofstetter also provide personal insights into their day-to-day lives.

Thanks to its modular structure, the film can be used flexibly: in addition to a longer version featuring all the protagonists, there are three shorter portraits available, each focusing on one person.
