Face blindness: I walk straight past friends in the street

The Documentary

Available for over a year

What's it like to live with a condition that means you don't recognise people you know, or, in extreme cases, members of your own family? It is thought that as many as one in fifty people suffer from prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Presenter Mary Ann Seighart, actor Stephen Fry and former UK Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt share their experiences. Image: Couple in shadow looking at a lake Credit: Thinkstock
