'I am valued here': the extraordinary film that recreates a disabled boy's rich digital life
The night after their son Mats died aged just 25, Trude and Robert Steen sat on the sofa in their living room in Oslo with their daughter Mia. "Everything was a blur," remembers Trude of that day 10 years ago. "Then Robert said, 'Maybe we should reach out to Mats' friends in World of Warcraft.'" Mats was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive condition that causes the muscles to weaken gradually. He was diagnosed aged four and started using a wheelchair at 10.
