Product Description What happens when a person can't feel pain? A Life Without Pain is an exploration into the day-to-day lives of three children who literally feel no pain. Three-year-old Gabby from Minnesota, 7-year-old Miriam from Norway and 10-year-old Jamiah from Germany have a genetic defect so rare that it is shared by only about one hundred people in the world. Their parents must watch their every move, but even their vigilance hasn't shielded the girls from many serious, life-altering injuries. As Filmmaker Meody Gilbert follows these families coping with this enormous challenge, we learn that pain is really a gift that no one wants, but none of us can do without. Review Melody Gilbert's riveting and shocking documentary...profiles three children with 'congenital insensitivity to pain,' a disease seemingly out of science fiction, charting their injuries, triumphs and setbacks unflinchingly and with a note of hope. --Austin American-Statesman A Life Without Pain works because it sheds some light on a rare and fascinating ailment while never resorting to sappy sentimentalism to up the awww factor. By the time you're done visiting these families, you'll feel sincere sympathy for the kids, true admiration for their parents and siblings, and probably a dose of appreciation for your own ability to feel pain -- as crazy as that might sound. --Scott Weinberg, eFilm Critic The film is a powerful lesson in the resilience of close-knit families battling for normalcy --Austin Chronicle
