MY FLESH AND BLOOD

The film follows the life of Susan Tom and her 11 adopted special needs children at a time when one of her children is threatening to tear the family apart. Among her children are Faith, severely burned as an infant in a crib fire; Xenia, born without legs; and Anthony, born with a genetic disease that causes his skin to blister with the slightest touch. All are flourishing in surprising ways, despite their physical disabilities. It is Joe, who suffers from bipolar disorder and cystic fibrosis, that is Susan’s greatest challenge. My Flesh and Blood examines the way this unconventional family draws strength from its struggles.
