About
What is wrong with her? is Leah’s latest poem, written in March 2020 before lockdown arrived. This is a biographical poem. Throughout her life, Leah has faced lots of challenges which are portrayed in the poem. It was performed in British Sign Language, telling her journey from a baby born in Greece to an adult living in Edinburgh. The poem explores various issues, such as being born deaf, identity, sexuality and after all those years finding peace. This is the first time Leah has turned her poetry into a film. It was filmed in her flat during lockdown. It was her first time directing and entering the world of editing – thanks to her awesome mentor Felix Gilfedder from Solar Bear theatre company.
