The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off Analysis

The other day in class, we watched a documentary called "The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off". The documentary was all about a boy called Jonny Kennedy who has lived his entire life with a very severe and rare disease which causes his skin to fall off and for him to find everyday life very difficult to cope with. The documentary showed the last few months of Jonny's life before he sadly passed away from skin cancer which had been brought on by his illness. The documentary showed how Jonny lead his life in his final months and how he tried to make the most of the little time he had by doing activities such as skydiving, setting up a charity, visiting different areas of the UK etc.

The clip to the left illustrates the beginning of the entire of the opening scene to the documentary and gives an insight as to how the condition effects Jonny and how he has to deal with it in every day life.
