Putting his lifelong struggle with CF in the frame

Max McGuire’s coming-of-age film Foreverland shows life with cystic fibrosis is challenging and uplifting, reports Joe McNamee

MAX McGuire’s English teacher thought it would be a good idea for the eight-year-old to write an article on Cystic Fibrosis (CF) for his class.

She meant well: perhaps if the other kids learned about CF, it might help them to better understand Max’s condition; why he was missing so often from school and why, when he was in school, he had to leave class every day to go to the nurse’s office for physio.
