Céline Dion Wanted Her Seizure Included in Her Documentary

In 2022, Céline Dion revealed that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes involuntary spasms and muscle rigidity. Now, a new documentary about her life provides an intimate look at how the singer has been affected by the illness.

Directed by Irene Taylor, I Am: Céline Dion  — which begins with a warning from Prime that it shows “powerful scenes of medical trauma” — includes a heart-wrenching scene where Dion suffers a two-minute-long seizure.
