A striking documentary in which director Nicole Conn turns the camera on herself:… It’s an admirable, at times devastating, balancing act... Throughout [Nicholas’] struggle for life, so struggle filmmaker Nicole Conn and and political activist Gwen Baba to keep their family from disintegrating under the unrelenting stress and chaos of hospitals, emergency medical crisis and a crushing blow to trust. The film explores the core of the human spirit as a family realizes that they are capable of enduring the unthinkable. Through dedication, love and commitment to the sheer force that is family, the miracle of life extends its hand to all of us. Do we choose to grab on?
