Capturing a Short Life: Losing Our Beautiful Babies

This beautifully filmed documentary follows four families dealing with the loss of a newborn child, combining intimate interviews with tender still photography. It gives space to grief that is often left unspoken, honouring the brief lives at its centre. The film handles a devastating subject with grace rather than sensation. It is a deeply moving watch about love, loss, and the ways families hold on to the children they could not keep. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
