Abstract
Description
Three years ago, journalist and filmmaker Elizabeth McCafferty met a man with a passion so unusual, that she became fixated on documenting every inch of it. Since the eighties, Trevor Cunningham has collected unused sick bags from every flight he’s ever been on. Although his collection is weird to some, his obsession with sick bags has more sentimental value than most would expect. In 1989, Trevor’s 32 year old boss, Peter, tragically passed away at work from a brain aneurysm. After discovering his collection while clearing out his desk draws, he decided to carry on the collection in Peter's honour, a small tribute to keep his memory and journey alive that lives on today through Trevor's stories in this book.
