Kristen Powers will be at the National Museum of Natural History to talk about her documentary Twitch.

Twitch is the first documentary to follow the life of an individual going through genetic testing for Huntington's Disease (HD), a genetic neurological brain disorder that destroys the victim's ability to walk, talk, think, reason, and which eventually leads to death.

The film chronicles the emotional, political, economic, social, and medical journey through this important test, as well as the impact on the individual's future and day-to-day life after receiving the test results.
