My name is Dan Shannon, father of Katia, filmmaker and general T1 Dad. We as T1 parents, have our own journey. This film seeks to showcase and balance both adult and teen perspectives.
I would recommend the film to any parent thinking they need tools to change the level of dialogue with their teen dealing with T1, or anyone say between 12-24. Lets face it, theT1d journey can cause self-image issues, depression, maybe even suicidal tendencies.
The film is well received by youth audiences who get to hear out loud, what they perhaps dare not say...It has impacted many people and we are grateful for the support we have received from community of parents who have shared their stories in the film but also at numerous JDRF screenings...
