Filming of the Phoenix Rising – Helen’s Story
Welcome to the world of hang gliding. This is APA filming Helen’s story….Helen Lee is a remarkable woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury six years ago from a hang gliding accident. She has written a book and APA are making a short film to promote the upcoming launch. All photos taken on my phone.
This is the hang glider Helen had her accident on. Steve is setting up for a reenactment shot

Helen’s accident happened during a tow – this is the sort of plane that tows hang gliders up into the air

Some of Helen’s treatment included brain assessment and training, this is where it happened.
