I have waited 21 years for a movie like this. One that is the real deal. Not some second rate corny acting/story line but a real major motion picture on the big screen with " A" List actors and actresses! One with a lead actor ( heck up till this point I would have taken any character ) accurately portrayed having Rheumatoid Arthritis. Save the date because the wait is finally over! June 6, 2014 the major motion picture is released in the US called " Words & Pictures" . I can not explain just how excited I am to see this movie and I am pleading with everyone I know to please go see it!!! To my knowledge this is the first movie that openly portrays a woman newly diagnosed and struggling with life after her Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis. Below is an article posted on Arthritis Foundations website about the movie and features a clip of one scene with the lead actress ,with RA ,
struggling to open her medicine bottle.
