LITTLE MOUNTAINS

Production Documentary, currently in production

Two and a half year-old Sierra has severe cerebral palsy and may never walk or talk, although her intellect is not affected by the disorder. Undeterred by the risks or the financial challenges, Sierra’s parents, Karen and Shane, are fighting to raise $20,000 to get Sierra controversial stem cell treatment and physiotherapy in Europe. A film about hope and fighting for the one you love, Little Mountains intimately portrays the Hill family’s extraordinary approach to dealing with Sierra’s condition, their journey to the high tech private clinics of Europe and the bio politics of emerging stem cell technologies.

Directed by James Fleming, produced by Pia Niebel.
