The Listening Heart – DVD Home/Private Use

The Listening Heart is an educational documentary that chronicles the day-to-day challenges of children, parents, and families who struggle with the consequences of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). The Listening Heart offers a unique look into the world of FAS through the eyes of medical experts, adoptive parents, and those directly affected by the disorder – the children. Over a production period of eight months, filmmaker and crew were able to gain access into a world previously unseen and misunderstood by the general public. By working hand-in-hand with families and experts, The Listening Heart has become the only film about FAS that combines parents’ insights backed up with scientific information about prenatal alcohol exposure and its devastating effects on intellectual and behavioral development.
