Dr. Bernard Abrams, an Ohio optometrist, and his wife Shirley Abrams have a six-year-old daughter that suffers from a rare form of epilepsy. The child's paraplegic doctor cares for her. As for the little girl's parents, they need to have a drug approved from the Food and Drug Administration. However, the process is slow and they are forced to fly to England to obtain the medication. They take their cause to the media in order to highlight their case and force the FDA to expedite its decision on use in America.
The film was released twice on DVD. The first release was on September 4, 2012, on a Morgan Freeman dual release with Moll Flanders.[1] It was later released on October 31, 2012, on an Amazon exclusive dual 'Family Film' release with Dominick and Eugene.[2]
Prior to 2023, it was available to stream on Paramount+.
