Here's a video with more details:Leena says she was inspired to tell this story after experiencing complications while she was pregnant with her second daughter, who was born with a serious but treatable health condition called Pierre Robin Sequence. Like the couple in the film, she and her husband grappled with some very difficult decisions."Sitting in the room, looking at a sonogram, the doctors ask you to make decisions that are tough, that have you question what's right or wrong, and for which you need to go on faith to move forward," Leena shares. "It was this experience that inspired me to tell this story."The goal is to raise $50,000, which will go towards all stages of the film's production.
