In 2010, inspired by photojournalist Chris Capozziello’s powerful photographs of his sibling, MediaStorm started covering Chris and his twin brother Nick’s life and relationship, during a particularly challenging time in their lives. Seven years years later, we are excited to finally share this special film of sibling bonding with all of you.
Nick has cerebral palsy. He is an adult, living with his parents, who is often treated as a child but physically feels like an old man. His brother Chris has spent his whole life dealing with the reality of having a twin brother that struggles through life in ways he does not. To help him work through this chronic guilt, Chris, who is a professional photojournalist, has been photographing and documenting Nick’s life for nearly two decades. Now, at age 35, Nick finally has the opportunity to take his first steps towards independence, a change that is both desired and scary to all members of the family, and which they will each deal with in their own way.
