Together with speech therapist Petra Nickel they created STUTTERING – MY CONSTANT COMPANION. Along with Birgit Gohlke herself and David Seidler - author of "The King's Speech" who himself stuttered as a teenager - three other stuttering protagonists talk about their day to day challenges. "An enriching film that breaks down clichés and prejudices and gives a voice to those who flow of speech is at times inhibited." (spielfilm.de)
