A FREE screening of a documentary film about a man suffering from a fatal illness will be held in York on Friday.

I Am Breathing is the story of Neil Platt, who died of motor neurone disease in 2009, and wanted his final days recording to raise awareness of the disease.

The film has been praised by critics, and will be screened globally as part of Global MND Awareness Day. The York showing will take place at 8pm in Bar 1331 in Grape Lane.
