Day by day – Peter

In the new “Day by day” film, Peter Hofstetter from Entlebuch (Canton of Lucerne) tells his moving story. In January 2018, the 64-year-old had a severe accident while doing some forestry work. He has had incomplete paraplegia ever since.

In the short interview, you will find out what Peter’s biggest limitation was after the accident and hear his hopes for the future, among other things.

The “Day by day” film gives the audience an insight into three moving life stories from wheelchair users. The film impressively shows the comprehensive and unique network of services of the Swiss Paraplegic Group.

In addition to Peter Hofstetter, Chiara Schlatter and Dominique Hirschi talk about their daily routines and provide personal insights into their lives.

Thanks to its modular structure, the film can be used in a variety of ways: in addition to a long version with all the protagonists, three short films are also available, each focusing on one person.
