With such soul and beauty on the screen, it’s hard to look away from such a heartfelt documentary that will utterly break you at every turn. This film proves to be a rousing achievement in documentary filmmaking and children’s health for all to see.
The story centers around a little girl named Willow who is diagnosed with Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency and her mother Amber Olsen attempts to find donors to help fund a cure to prevent other children from being affected.
Filmmaker Patrick O’Connor proves to be an incredible talent behind the camera drawing the audience in with his eye for emotional resonance and using a beautiful theme of death and loss to capture such beauty with a very smaller budget than some other documentaries.
Looking at Willow’s innocent face, a young girl who deserves way more out of life, it’s almost impossible to not start bawling out of nowhere and succumbing to your emotions at the onslaught of this tumultuous film.
All in all, this documentary shows that you can truly make an impact with a smaller topic and budget and has such beauty in its message that you’ll never be able to turn away.
