A man left paralysed after falling from the sky has spoken publicly for the first time through a moving new documentary.

Cameron Treble, from Ringwood, was left paralysed from the waist down after a paragliding accident last year.

He has now shared his story in a short film produced by journalist and filmmaker Emma Trim, founder of Chapters.

Mr Treble said: "I think I kind of took it at face value for what it was.

"Life's not over, I'm still here and I'm still breathing and able to move my upper body.

"We've just got to deal with the cards as they come and see where we get to."

The documentary, filmed in the New Forest, follows Mr Treble's journey as he adapts to life after the accident.

Ms Trim said: "Cam's story continues to evolve.

"Reflecting on the day of his accident, he talked openly about how he processed the news he received from his hospital bed.

"His outlook on life is full of strength, resilience, and determination.

"With his relentless hard work, I think he's a true inspiration to the entire wheelchair community."

The documentary has already touched viewers, with one person commenting: "You’re an incredible human and your attitude and approach to life will inspire so many."

Ms Trim, who previously worked for the BBC and LADbible, focuses on stories of resilience and the moments that shape people’s lives.

She brings more than a decade of experience to Chapters, her own venture providing the community with personal films about their journey through life.

Ms Trim said: "I’m building Chapters with a clear purpose: to give people the opportunity to tell their own story, in their own words and in their own time."

Chapters documentaries combine interviews with family photographs and home videos to create a professionally edited film that captures a person’s life, memories and experiences.

Mr Treble's story is not only one of physical recovery but also a reminder of the importance of mental health, particularly for men.

His decision to speak publicly is providing encouragement and a sense of community to wheelchair users across the UK and beyond.

Set against the peaceful scenery of the New Forest, Mr Treble's outlook remains focused on what lies ahead.

He is taking each challenge day-by-day and finding a way forward.
