Being Frank: The Frank Gardner Story In June 2004, BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner was shot six times by al-Qaeda gunmen whilst reporting on growing terrorist activity in Saudi Arabia. The bullets damaged his spinal nerves - at the age of 43, Frank was left partially paralysed and has used a wheelchair ever since. Sixteen years later, Frank has never fully got used to being disabled. In this deeply personal film, he talks candidly about the effects his injuries have had on his life, work, relationships and the way he views himself. Disarmingly honest about revealing the ongoing physical indignities that have resulted from the attack, including changing his colostomy bag and catheter on camera, Frank nevertheless finds talking about his emotional response more difficult. Exploring the way that others have responded to sudden, life-changing injuries, Frank meets Yasmin, a young woman who has recently suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of a climbing accident.
