About COMPLICATED.

COMPLICATED (2025) is a deeply moving documentary by Open Eye Pictures and director Andrew Abrahams that lifts the veil on the hidden world of children living with complex, invisible illness. Focusing on young people diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), the film explores the emotional, medical, and legal challenges they and their families endure - from misdiagnoses and medical gaslighting to heartbreaking accusations of child abuse.

Filmed over seven years, COMPLICATED follows parents fighting tirelessly for their children’s safety, dignity, and proper care, and the remarkable resilience of young people advocating for science, recognition, and respect. The film exposes critical gaps in medicine and child protection while offering a hopeful vision shaped by families who refuse to give up.

If you live with a hypermobility condition, we hope this documentary brings validation to your experience. If you are a carer, health professional, or someone who loves a person with hypermobility, we hope it deepens your understanding of what our journeys can look like.

Fundraising advance Australian hypermobility care.

All funds raised from this event will be put back into CHA to benefit our community.

Specific activities which we are actively working on include:

1

Our new Wollongong Clinic

We're currently in the very exciting process of fitting out a custom-designed clinic in Wollongong, NSW that will become CHA's new home in early 2026. Created by hypermobile people for hypermobile people, the space is built for accessibility, comfort, and community connection, while also allowing us to expand our interdisciplinary services and reach.

2

Delivering clinician education

We’re currently developing our 2026 season of Clinician Roundtable, an education series aimed at improving clinician confidence and competency in hypermobility care. Funds support content development, clinician involvement and distribution, which are essential as many contributors are currently donating their time to help address this major bottleneck in care.

3

Funding lived-experience roles

Our non-clinical, lived-experience team members contribute across research, grant-seeking, fundraising, social media, community engagement, and administrative coordination. Funds raised will help sustain these meaningful roles, keeping lived experience at the heart of our work and strengthening our flexible workforce capacity.
