The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off plot

Jonny Kennedy was born with a rare skin disease, Epidermolysis Bullosa, which caused his skin to peel off at the slightest touch. His illness eventually led to skin cancer, from which Kennedy died at the age of 36. During the last four months of his life, Jonny Kennedy was followed by a film crew. Kennedy was always very open about his condition. The documentary shows a dignified, hopeful and at times even humorous picture of Jonny Kennedy and his illness.
