- A TV news reporter must confront her epilepsy after being fired over a seizure. Emmy-award winning reporter Stacia Kalinoski pursues brain surgery, and documents her journey as a way to raise awareness about the brain disorder that affects 1 in 26 people. The Grand mal (tonic clonic) is the image most commonly associated with seizures, but the true face of epilepsy is extremely complex because there are so many types. Deja vu, lip smacking, blank stares, screaming, and convulsing all represent different types of seizures. The misunderstanding surrounding this mysterious brain disorder has arguably led to the strong stigma. Brainstorm aims to reduce the stigma by showing how three people with very different epilepsy types battle seizures and their devastating effects to live their lives to the fullest. They include former Minnesota Gophers football coach Jerry Kill, and a young boy named Billy. Brainstorm explores the devastating effects seizures have on memory, why some with epilepsy deny their condition, and treatment options like surgery.
