What happens when you risk losing one life, to save another?
A few months ago, Cell Phone Boy and I went to see a great documentary called Little Man and I’ve not been able to get it out of my head ever since.
What was supposed to be a documentary about surrogacy, turned into a documentary about faith and life when the filmmaker and her partner had to decide whether to carry the baby to term, thus risking the life of the surrogate, or terminating the pregnancy.
Nicolas is born 100 days premature. Weighing less than one pound, Nicolas’s chances for survival are slimmer than his ‘frog-like’ legs. Every day, it seems there is a new hurdle to jump. A string of medical ordeals and stress. Not to mention the strain on the family unit; filmmaker, Nicole, and her activist Partner, Gwen, struggle with a young daughter at home and an ailing son in the N-ICU.
“little man explores the core of the human spirit as a family realizes that they are capable of enduring what they never thought possible. 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?”
Why blog about this? Well, the DVD has just been released and as it is an Independent Production, I think they could use all the help they can get. Please forward this link, or this post to everyone you know. I’d love for everyone to see this film and for it to get the recognition and support it deserves.
There are several DVD specials on, as it is a new release. This is definitely one movie that I strongly recommend everyone watch, and everyone buy. I never advocate burning or stealing media, and this is no exception. Please buy this DVD, and not just ‘steal’ it.
