Official Trailer: FAMILY AND ME
This is a powerful short film that takes an honest look at a family of eight dealing with the heartbreak of death. The story shines a light on some of the most difficult outcomes a family can face when a child’s first cries for help aren’t recognized - all told through the eyes of a child.
“I’m grateful that I was able to use the art of filmmaking to tell this story and share it with the world. But, this story is not a part of the social media hurricane or fancy filmmaking, tricks and hacks. Because this story is simple. Children let adults know they are in trouble, but adult miss the cues. When I realized that, I knew I must share this story. What I want adults to take away from this film is that there are no forgettable conversations. Even tossed out words in passing can have deadly consequences. But, for children, I hope they understand permanent solutions to temporary pain in not the answer.”, said Ariana Jalia.
