Broken Child

About This Movie

Broken Child is a gritty documentary that dives into the stark realities faced by mothers grappling with addiction during pregnancy. The film’s tone is raw and unfiltered, mirroring the struggles of its subjects. It doesn’t shy away from the emotional weight of the issue, presenting personal stories that resonate deeply. The pacing feels almost uneven at times, but that adds to the authenticity, as you feel the tension and despair hanging in the air. The practical effects are almost non-existent, as the real-life experiences serve as the film's most powerful visuals. What sets it apart is the unvarnished glimpse into a world often stigmatized, where compassion meets harsh reality—definitely a thought-provoking watch for anyone into social documentaries.
