To Hurt and to Heal -- Film Description:
"Although the two parts of this hard-hitting documentary by Laura Sky can stand on their own, their impact is magnified considerably when viewed as a single work. The subject is an urgent, emotionally charged and complex one: the ethical, emotional and social impact of new pediatric and neonatal technologies designed to sustain the life of unhealthy or premature babies that would once probably have died. [...] Obviously, To Hurt and to Heal is not an easy cinematic experience. Instead it is powerful, urgent and illuminating."
