About Face is the heartrending story of a young Alaskan woman facing down the demons of her past. When Gwen was nine months old, her mentally distraught mother placed her in a campfire, leaving her physically and emotionally scarred for life. We travel with Gwen across Alaska and the United States for five years, as she searches for answers, faces her past, tracks down her mother, and moves forward in life to heal and forgive. Beautifully filmed against the stark beauty of Alaska, our compelling heroine reaches deep into our souls.
