Release Nederlands Filmfestival 2024
'Mother’s Child’ is an animated short film (9 minutes) about being a mother and caregiver for your adult child with special needs. The animated short gives us a peek into the life of Mary and her non-verbal son, Murphy. We are witness to the daily struggle of having to fight for the rights for your child with government officials, not always being able to understand what your child wants and trying to find beauty through all the bureaucratic mess of healthcare institutions.
