Get Me to 21: The Jenna Lowe Story
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 20h30
Genre: Documentary
When Cape Town teenager Jenna Lowe was diagnosed with life-threatening Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), she didn't simply become a patient, she became a lead activist bringing attention to the disease.
In 2014, two years ahead of her 21st birthday, Jenna launched her #GetMeTo21 social media campaign to raise awareness for this rare, life-threatening disease and to drive organ donation in South Africa.
Articulate, brave and beautiful, she touched people across the world, and the campaign achieved international acclaim.
This documentary features footage and interviews with many of Jenna's friends, doctors and family, including Jenna's mother Gabi who chronicled her daughter's heroic odyssey with this poorly understood medical condition in her best-selling memoir Get Me to 21.
Get Me to 21 pays tribute to Jenna's indomitable spirit, sharing insights on how the Lowe family found strength and resilience as they faced every parent's worst nightmare; firstly the medical practitioners that couldn't diagnose Jenna's condition and then had few, if any, treatments to offer.
The Lowes didn't accept that helplessness.
Yet PH is a degenerative condition and ordinary challenges of youth such as writing matric became especially poignant as her family watched Jenna sitting in a wheelchair with oxygen support determinedly writing her final exams – she achieved straight As.
Jenna's family started a not-for-profit organisation, the Jenna Lowe Trust, in her memory.
It helped to establish The Jenna Lowe PH Clinic at Groote Schuur, which currently supports around 600 PH patients because earlier diagnosis means a better quality of life.
