About the Director
Andrea Sorkin was in graduate school for Media Studies when she developed symptoms of a mysterious autoimmune illness. Sorkin decided to document her experiences while taking a video autobiography course and through her own research, discovered the prevalence of similar experiences in the female community at large. This ultimately led her to produce Priority Seating, a documentary that examines what it means to be an American woman with an autoimmune illness. It is the first film project to investigate the impact of autoimmunity as a whole.
