Celine Dion recounts her journey back to performing after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in a documentary preview.
Celine Dion's love for singing and performing is evident in the trailer for her upcoming documentary, "I Am: Celine Dion." Despite living with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome, she continues to pursue her passion.
In a touching moment, Dion talks about the importance of performing, stating, "I'm working hard every day, but I have to admit, it's been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them."
Her determination is unwavering, as she shares, "If I can't run, I'll walk. If I can't walk, I'll crawl. And I won't stop. I won't stop."
Flashbacks of Dion's incredible career are showcased throughout the preview, with images of her performing on stage in front of massive audiences. This is contrasted by present-day footage of her receiving support from loved ones as she faces the challenge of taking a break from her career to focus on her health.
Dion revealed her stiff person syndrome diagnosis in December 2022, stating that it prevents her from singing as she is used to. The disorder affects the nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle spasms and rigidity.
The documentary aims to raise awareness about this lesser-known condition by sharing Dion's personal experience with it. In a statement announcing the project, she said, "I want to document this part of my life to raise awareness of this little-known condition, to help others who share this diagnosis."
The synopsis of the film describes an intimate look into Dion's life as she battles her condition and continues to perform for her fans. "I Am: Celine Dion" is set to be released on Prime Video on June 25.
She expresses her deep connection to her voice, saying, "My voice is the conductor of my life. I need my instrument."
