Winner of the Audience and Director's Award at the Sundance Film Festival, the deeply affecting My Flesh and Blood follows one tumultuous year in the life of Susan Tom and her adopted family of 11 special needs children. For a single mother who receives only limited help from the state, Susan gives her kids love, hope, and as close to a normal childhood as possible, but her limits are tested when her angry teenage son threatens one of his siblings. Tenderly directed by Jonathan Karsh, the film presents a family portrait like no other-a bittersweet and unforgettable experience filled with unexpected humor, stirring pathos, and an optimistic view towards mortality.
