Tom Six has revealed that he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis fourteen years ago. The director of The Human Centipede announced a documentary this week titled The End of Tom Six. He explains that the stress surrounding his unreleased film The Onania Club accelerated his illness. Afterward, he lived in isolation in Amsterdam for six years. The documentary will be released on August 15 via YouTube, featuring a pay-what-you-want model, and also on DVD. Six describes the film as a reflection on his illness, the film industry, and artistic freedom.
