Predicting My MS

In 2005, filmmaker Jason DaSilva was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis, a rare type of MS with no known cure that inflicts a host of progressively debilitating symptoms. In this moving personal film, DaSilva looks back on the challenges he's faced, delves into the science behind MS, and investigates the potential risk factors that may–or may not–have contributed to his rare diagnosis. Refusing to be labeled a "tragic" case, he continues to advocate for people with disabilities and pursue his career as an artist and filmmaker.

The 2/23/2022 schedule on the NOVA website showed "Augmented" at 21:00 for 85 minutes and "Predicting My MS" at 22:00 for 30 minutes. But, that is a built-in conflict. "Predicting My MS" actually aired at 22:25. The runtimes are correct. I updated the episodes.
