Abstract
After an accident, the author and researcher of this article had a period of serious contemplation and decided to take positive transformative action over the long year of her rehabilitation. Her broken arm highlighted her vulnerability as a researcher, but opened new doorways to navigating different methods of research, documentation and presentation of lived experiences. This injury was not only the means to draw attention and participation in research, but also an invitation to share our vulnerabilities in ordinarily daily lives and to see charm in wounds, whether they are visible or invisible. We all have memories of suffering that have gone unrecognized and unreconciled. Autobiography through documentary films is one way of validating suffering and aestheticizing pain directly or vicariously through the sharing of experiences.
