On the 5 February 2020 in London, a film called Dancing at the Vatican will be shown. This film and is an extremely important step in the right direction for those affected by Huntington’s disease worldwide, but especially in Latin America.
What is Dancing at the Vatican?
Dancing at the Vatican is a documentary that tells of a journey made by some incredibly brave families from Latin America each bound by the same devastating disease, Huntington’s. The film sees those affected by the disease embarking on a life-changing mission to bring this long stigmatised disease out of the shadows. Where will their destination be and with whom will their travels culminate?
Who, where and why?
Dancing at the Vatican was created by former war reporter and global campaigner Charles Sabine, who is also from a Huntington’s disease family. Together with leading neuroscientist Dr Ignacio Muñoz-Sanjuan and geneticist Dr Claudia Perandones, founders of Factor-H, a charity that helps those affected by Huntington’s in Latin America, and Dr Elena Cattaneo, who was made Life Senator in Italy for her work researching the disease; put together an unforgettable trip to the Vatican.
The group travelled to Italy where history was made at an audience with the Pope who became the first global leader to ever publicly recognise the disease and speak the words 'Huntington's disease' aloud. The depth of the stigma around Huntington’s in Latin America was extremely severe until that moment. A pivotal time of hope for Huntington's disease families all over the world.

The group’s journey was documented and has been made into a documentary film which will be shown at BAFTA Piccadilly on 5 February 2020, 7 pm – 9 pm. Award-winning BBC Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh will moderate the panel discussion about the changing landscape of Huntington's research following the screening. The panellists will be Charles Sabine and Dr Ed Wild.
