About this survey

This research is all about connection and so we’d love you to tell us how each film makes you feel.

Brenda – a documentary in 3 colourful parts

Only Human has worked in collaboration with the world-renowned Ridley Scott Creative studio to illuminate the story of Brenda Agyeiwaa Poku. Intimately captured by feted young director Yasmin Godo, and turned into three short, animated films using the distinctive emerging art of Nathan Addai, Toby Cato, and Alex Zepherin – the films highlight Brenda’s colourful journey to now, the promise of genetics to help people – like her – with Sickle Cell disease, and the ever-present spectre of marginalisation and disadvantage in the NHS.

Behind the Scenes: Bringing Stories to Life

Only Human

Some people are alienated by and distrustful of advances in medical science and research, especially around DNA and genetics.

The majority of the British public feel that scientists should listen more to what ordinary people think. We agree with them. And we research how to communicate better. Which is why we’ve developed this website.

Watch a video, then use the quick-response survey questions to let us know how you feel about it. There’s a range of videos you can watch, in different genres, tones and lengths.

You can also download them all for free and use them yourself.
