This is Me - Touched by a Butterfly This is Me - Touched by a Butterfly is an insightful documentary in which we meet Liz Scanlon, her husband Gary, and their 4-year-old daughter Claudia, who was born with the genetic skin condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The documentary offers a unique insight into the lives of a very brave family who deal with EB on a daily basis.
