FASD: FINDING HOPE
Canada | 2009 | Documentary | English
Director: Susan Smitten
FASD: Finding Hope is a wonderfully touching and informative film highlighting the lives of several individuals with FASD and their families interspersed with commentary from professionals in the field.
The documentary begins with a look at the lives of several families and their children who are affected by FASD. Interviews with the families and the children themselves provide great insight into what it’s like to live with FASD and raise a child with FASD. The videos contain discussion with professionals in the field regarding diagnosis, physical and neurological effects, cognitive and behavioural issues, prevention, intervention, and the importance of recognizing that the effects of FASD are due to a brain injury rather than wilful choices.
The documentary concludes with messages of hope from the families and professionals in the video. Where do you find hope? Are there any specific interventions or people that have given you hope?
