Three stories, three fates, one film

“Day by day” is the new film from the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation that highlights the holistic network of services. Three wheelchair users tell their moving stories in a film lasting around 18 minutes.

Day by day – Dominique

In the new “Day by day” film, Dominique Hirschi from Huttwil (Canton of Bern) tells his moving story. In April 2013, the 42-year-old suffered a serious accident while kitesurfing in Egypt. Since then, he has had tetraplegia and has coped with life impressively.

Day by day – Peter

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

Day by day – Chiara

In the “Day by day” film, Chiara Schlatter from Thun (Canton of Bern) talks about her experiences and her life. In 2016, the 27-year-old fell onto some stone steps. She has been paraplegic ever since.
