How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply moving chronicle of parents who refuse to accept the impossible, fighting medical establishment and despair with ingenuity and unwavering devotion. The film captures both the intimate anguish of watching a child decline and the exhilaration of discovery born from desperation.
